Questions people ask us

Can Myhorizon help me find and keep a job?

Yes. We can support you to prepare for work, look for a job and build the skills to keep it. Support may include work experience, job sampling, computer skills, travel skills, workplace communication and career planning. If you want to use NDIS funding, the employment support must be included in your plan.

Can my NDIS plan pay for employment support?

It may. Finding and Keeping a Job is time-limited capacity-building funding for working-age participants. It can pay for disability-related support to build work skills, develop a career plan, complete work experience or move into work or further education. Check your plan or ask your my NDIS contact, support coordinator or plan manager.
