Specialised Supported Employment These support items are for participants who are employed and who are less independent in performing their work tasks or need frequent prompting and coaching to stay on track, communicate with others, or manage their behaviours. Supports may be provided one to one or within a group-based setting, complimenting existing or expected employer supports, and claimed according to the intensity and frequency of supports delivered to achieve employment goals. They can also be used in a range of employment settings including private, government or not for profit organisations; a social enterprise or similar environment; self-employment or a micro-business; or a family run business. Supports can include:
- on the job assessments related to the impact of a person’s disability on their ability to work;
- on-the-job training and intermittent support with daily work tasks;
- direct supervision and/or group-based support to enable meaningful participation at work;
- physical assistance and personal care delivered in the workplace;
- supports to manage disability-related behaviour or complex needs at work; and
- non-face-to-face activities that are directly related to supporting a participant’s employment.
