Getting the financial support you need

Work Attire

You may need new clothes for an interview. Or, when you find work, a new uniform, including pants, shirts, shoes, boots, hard hats or hi-vis gear. Whatever you’re after, we will support you in potentially accessing Financial support.

Transport 

If you need help to and from an interview or work, we’re here to help with the costs. 

Devices

Technology is crucial for work. If you need assistance to buy a phone or help to pay for your internet, we can arrange that for you. 

Counselling services

Finding and beginning work can be stressful. If you need to access additional counselling services, let us assist with those and the payments. 

Courses and Education

Need a course to get yourself job-ready? Let us organise whatever you need and pay for it – whether that’s a training certificate or even assisting with getting your driver’s licence.

Helping your employer with Work Assist

  If your new place of work needs modifications, then we can help your employer access a fund to make this happen for you. Modifications could include installing handrails, ramps, modified desks, and signage – it is about what you will need to do your job effectively.
