What Employment and Education Covers

Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for employment and education in Mount Gambier.
A participant finishing Year 12 wants to work but does not know what kind of job they want. Refer to a SLES provider that offers diverse work experience placements across multiple industries, not just one setting.
A participant has been unemployed for 2 years and wants to return to work. Refer to an open employment provider with experience in the participant's field of interest and a track record of job placements, not just job readiness training.
A participant wants to enrol in a TAFE course but needs support to manage the academic and social aspects. Refer to a provider that offers higher education support with experience at the specific institution.
What to Expect After Referral
Employment providers vary significantly in quality and approach. Good providers conduct a vocational assessment, develop an individualised employment plan, provide real work experience (not just classroom-based training), and measure outcomes in actual employment. SLES typically runs for 2 years. Open employment support is ongoing until the participant is stable in their role.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a employment and education provider may not be delivering quality services.
Provider focused on classroom training with no actual work experience or job placements
No vocational assessment or individualised employment plan
Provider not engaging with employers in the participant's area of interest
SLES provider keeping participants for the full 2 years without progression toward employment
No outcome data on job placements or employment retention
How Employment and Education Works with Other Supports
Employment connects with Transport (getting to work), Community Participation (building work-readiness through community activities), Daily Living Skills (self-management skills for the workplace), and Therapeutic Supports (addressing barriers to employment such as anxiety or social communication difficulties).

Referral Tips for Employment and Education
Employment supports require goal alignment between the participant, the provider, and the plan. When referring, check whether the participant needs SLES (school leavers), open employment support, or supported employment. Confirm the provider has employer relationships in the participant's field of interest. Employment outcomes should be documented as they are strong evidence for plan review funding decisions.
What to Check Before Making a Referral
Registration Status
Verify the provider holds the correct NDIS registration group for employment and education. Check the NDIS provider register if uncertain.

Availability and Waitlists
Ask about current waitlist times. For urgent referrals, check multiple providers simultaneously to find the fastest availability.
Cultural and Language Needs

Cancellation Policy
Review the provider's short notice cancellation terms. Under the NDIS Price Guide, providers can charge up to 100% for cancellations within 2 business days.
