Access Your Supports (AYS) is a trusted and leading National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) registered provider in Geelong and the Surf Coast and has been operating since 2016.
AYS offers various services to participants under the NDIS, including: support coordination; employment support; peer mentoring; and plan management; and therapies (such as occupational therapy, behaviour support, early child intervention, psychology).
The NDIS rollout in 2013 proved to be the start of significant social reform throughout the nation, aiming to enhance quality of life, independence and participation for those living with disabilities in the community.
The Employment Support Program at AYS has been thriving, especially with another group of students set to finish school in the coming months.
Most participants in the program are those eligible for School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES), a service designed to assist with the transition from school to the workforce.
This support is available during the final year of school and continues after graduation.
The team assists individuals with disabilities in finding and maintaining meaningful employment, providing job coaching and skill development.
The team values social connections and rapport building with participants, their families, and care teams.
They also go above and beyond to ensure employment-related goals are achieved.
This service is offered in a one-on-one context which allows their clients to have a more tailored and personalised approach that fits their individual needs.
One of AYS’ goals is to help those with disabilities find suitable and meaningful ongoing employment.
Employment is a valuable and important aspect of life for everyone, including those of us with disabilities, as it allows us to gain independence, drives us with purpose and a sense of accomplishment, and helps us to create new social networks and bonds.
This is why AYS strives to find opportunities throughout the community for their clients to obtain work that fits their needs and abilities allowing them to enjoy the benefits most of us take for granted through having ongoing employment.
AYS offers a comprehensive range of services that complements and enhances each other to achieve the best outcomes for their clients to help them plan and achieve their life goals.
