Mission

Jobsupport’s mission is to place, train and maintain as many people with a significant intellectual disability as possible into quality jobs in the regular workforce that meet both their employment needs and the needs of the employer.

Jobsupport delivers sustained performance
Jobsupport was established in 1986.  Today we support over 550 people with an intellectual disability in jobs throughout the Sydney metropolitan area.

Jobsupport delivers its mission through two programs:

1.    Jobsupport’s Open Employment service places people with an intellectual disability into paid jobs in the regular workforce. The program is part of the Disability Employment Service and is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Jobsupport’s How the Open Employment Program Works page describes the program and its achievements.

2.    Jobsupport’s Transition to Work service is called Community Work Options. Community Work Options gives school leavers with an intellectual disability extra help before they attempt paid employment, by providing them with successful work experience and by addressing issues that are preventing their acceptance by an open employment service. This Transition to Work service is funded by the NSW Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care (ADHC). The Transition to Work - Community Work Options page describes the program and its achievements.
