Support to Build the Working Life and Independence You Want

Professional Disability Support for Your Career Goals and Life Skills Development.

You have skills, interests, and aspirations that deserve professional support. Our employment and life skills services don’t just help you tick NDIS boxes – we support you to work toward genuine independence and meaningful work that fits your life and goals.

Whether you’re ready to enter the workforce, develop essential life skills, or strengthen your community connections, we provide guidance that understands both your aspirations and real-world requirements.

Employment Support Focused on Your Goals

Job Search Help That Understands Both Sides

Finding meaningful work shouldn’t mean settling for whatever’s available. Because we’ve worked in corporate environments and managed teams, we understand what many employers look for and can help present your strengths effectively.

What you receive:

  • Resume and interview skills that highlight your abilities authentically
  • Job matching based on your genuine interests and skills
  • Workplace readiness training for real workplace situations
  • Ongoing support once you start working to support your success
We’ve been on both sides – as employees navigating workplace expectations and as employers making hiring decisions. This experience helps us support you to work toward success and continued growth.

Workplace Support Continues After You Get the Job

Getting hired is just the beginning. We provide ongoing support that helps you succeed, grow, and advance in your role over time.

Ongoing support includes:

  • Regular check-ins to address any workplace challenges or concerns
  • Professional advocacy and liaison with employers when needed
  • Skills development opportunities for career progression
  • Problem-solving support when workplace situations arise

Explore Different Pathways to Meaningful Work

Sometimes traditional employment isn’t the right fit right now, and that’s perfectly okay. We help you explore other work options that match where you are in your journey.

Alternative pathways include:

  • Supported employment with understanding, flexible employers
  • Volunteer work that builds skills and valuable community connections
  • Social enterprises and community-based work opportunities
  • Gradual transition programs that move at your comfortable pace

Life Skills Development for Real Independence

Develop Skills to Support your Daily Living

Independence means having practical skills that work in real situations, not just in theory. We practice these skills to help you work toward developing helpful routines.

Essential life skills development:

  • Money management and budgeting that works for your lifestyle
  • Communication skills for different situations
  • Problem-solving strategies when things don’t go as planned
  • Time management systems that fit your personal rhythm
  • Health and wellness routines that you can maintain consistently

Real-world practice

We practice these skills in actual situations – shopping, banking, appointments, social interactions – not just in training rooms, or artificial settings.

Navigate Major Life Changes with Steady Support

Big transitions can feel overwhelming, whether you’re leaving school, moving out of home, starting work, or making other significant changes. We aim to provide steady, consistent support throughout the process.

Transition support includes:

  • Forward planning for upcoming changes and challenges
  • Step-by-step support through each stage of your transition
  • Coordination with your family and other support services
  • Confidence building for your next chapter and new challenges
  • Support and encouragement to reduce stress during transitions

Managing Change

We’ve navigated major career and life transitions ourselves, so we understand both the excitement and the challenges that come with significant changes.

Build Community Connections That Matter

Work Toward Finding Your Place in the Community

Being part of your community isn’t just about attending random activities – it’s about finding where you genuinely belong and how you want to contribute to your local area and business community.

Community participation support:

  • Discovering activities and groups that align with your interests
  • Building social confidence in various community settings
  • Connecting with local organisations and causes you care about
  • Developing leadership skills if that interests and motivates you

Local advantage

Our hospitality experience means we know the local community well and can help you find genuine connections and opportunities.

Ready to Work Toward Your Goals?

Whether you want to find work, develop practical independence skills, or build stronger community connections, Care and Connection support takes your aspirations seriously and gives you professional support to work toward achieving them.

Your goals matter, and we’re here to support you as you work toward them with reliable, professional support every step of the way.
