A job that fits you—not the other way around.
We don't just find you any job. We match your strengths, interests, and needs to the right role, in the right environment, with the right supports—so employment actually works.
Enquire About Employment
What is customised employment?
Customised employment is about creating or negotiating a job that's built around a person's strengths—not forcing someone into a role that doesn't fit. It starts with Discovery, and ends with real, sustainable work.
Starts with Discovery
We use our signature Discovery Process to understand your strengths, interests, support needs, and ideal work environments.
Employer engagement
We connect with local employers across hospitality, retail, professional services, and community organisations to find the right match.
Job creation and negotiation
Sometimes the right job doesn't exist yet. We work with employers to create or customise roles that suit both parties.
Ongoing support
We don't disappear after you gain employment. Regular check-ins with you and your employer, mentor support, and adjustments ensure the role keeps working long-term.

Common questions
Do I need to have done Discovery first?
Discovery is the foundation of customised employment—it helps us understand you properly before we approach employers. If you haven't done it yet, we'll start there.
Is customised employment NDIS funded?
Yes. Discovery is funded under NDIS Capacity Building supports, and can be funded from other parts of your NDIS plan. We can help you understand how we can work with you.
What if the job doesn't work out?
We provide ongoing support and regular check-ins. If something isn't working, we adjust—whether that means changing the role, the hours, or the supports in place. It's also ok if you find the role isn't for you. We learn from the experience and use that information to readjust your pathway forward.
Do you work with employers directly?
Absolutely. We build relationships with local employers, educate them on inclusive hiring, and negotiate roles that work for both the participant and the business.
