At Balance by Design, we provide NDIS Capacity Building support under Finding and Keeping a Job, helping you build the skills, confidence, and independence needed to access and maintain employment. We support you at any stage of your employment journey—whether you’re exploring work for the first time, returning after time away, or needing support to manage challenges in your current role. All supports are tailored to your NDIS goals, strengths, and individual needs.
Together, we work on building your understanding of the world of work, including what to expect in different roles and how workplaces operate. We support you to develop confidence in communication, learn how to advocate for your needs, and build strategies to manage workplace expectations. We also help you develop the practical skills needed to participate in employment, such as building routines, improving time management, and increasing independence in daily activities that support work.
Where relevant, this can include understanding your pay, managing money, and building financial confidence in the context of employment. If you are currently working, we support you to maintain your job by helping you navigate challenges, strengthen communication, and develop strategies to manage workplace demands. This may include support with problem-solving, understanding expectations, and identifying what supports or adjustments you may need.
All support is delivered in line with NDIS principles of choice and control, with a focus on building your independence and long-term capacity. We work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Services are delivered online across Australia (virtually), with limited in-person support available in Victoria.
