The NDIS Participant Employment Strategy sets out the NDIA's vision, commitment and action plan for supporting NDIS participants to find and maintain meaningful employment.

Volunteering is unpaid work. It can be a great first step to getting paid work. Being a volunteer has lots of benefits. It can help you gain work experience in the field you are interested in and can increase your work skills and general wellbeing. Volunteering can build important personal and work relationships as well as having a positive impact on your community. Talk to your LAC about opportunities to volunteer in your area.

The 'Let's talk about work' booklet helps you get ready for your conversation about work.

Providers are an important part of the NDIS, delivering a product or service support to a participant. Watch our videos for more information. Information on working with community, partners in the community (Local Area Coordinators and early childhood partners), registered providers, intermediaries (plan managers and support coordinators) and business to business opportunities.

Begin here for guidance for providers who are new to the NDIS including how to register, things you need to know, connecting with our systems, and quality and safeguards.

The NDIS connects people with disability, their families and carers with government services and community activities, and works to build inclusive communities, workplaces and services. Learn more about support coordinators, local area coordination partners and early childhood partners.

The NDIA recommends having a written service agreement so participants and providers are clear about what each party has agreed to. Service agreements help make sure the participant and provider have the same expectations of what supports will be delivered and how they will be delivered.
