How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo lists the registration details a provider reports and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm them before referring a participant. Here is what each listing shows and where to verify it.

NDIS registration

About Employment and Education

Employment and Education supports help participants find, keep, or transition into employment or further education. This includes job readiness training, supported employment, workplace mentoring, school leaver employment supports (SLES), and assistance with higher education access. These services build long-term economic independence.

With 580 providers across all states and territories, employment and education is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

The following NDIS price limits apply under the 2025-26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements. These are maximum rates for standard metropolitan areas. Remote and very remote loadings apply in eligible areas.

What Employment and Education Covers

The Employment and Education registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES)

For participants aged 17-21 transitioning from school. Provides work experience, job readiness training, career exploration, and supported internships over a 2-year period. Funded under Capacity Building.

Open Employment Support

Support to find and keep a job in the open labour market. Includes resume preparation, interview skills, job matching, workplace orientation, and ongoing in-work support. Known as Disability Employment Services (DES) when government-funded.

Supported Employment

Employment in an Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE) or similar supported workplace. Provides meaningful work with on-site support for participants who are not yet ready for open employment.

Higher Education Support

Assistance to access and participate in further education, including TAFE and university. Covers study skills, assignment support, campus navigation, and exam accommodations.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for employment and education.

1.

A participant finishing Year 12 wants to work but does not know what kind of job they want. Refer to a SLES provider that offers diverse work experience placements across multiple industries, not just one setting.

2.

A participant has been unemployed for 2 years and wants to return to work. Refer to an open employment provider with experience in the participant's field of interest and a track record of job placements, not just job readiness training.

3.

A participant wants to enrol in a TAFE course but needs support to manage the academic and social aspects. Refer to a provider that offers higher education support with experience at the specific institution.

What to Expect After Referral

Employment providers vary significantly in quality and approach. Good providers conduct a vocational assessment, develop an individualised employment plan, provide real work experience (not just classroom-based training), and measure outcomes in actual employment. SLES typically runs for 2 years. Open employment support is ongoing until the participant is stable in their role.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a employment and education provider may not be delivering quality services.

Provider focused on classroom training with no actual work experience or job placements

No vocational assessment or individualised employment plan

Provider not engaging with employers in the participant's area of interest

SLES provider keeping participants for the full 2 years without progression toward employment

No outcome data on job placements or employment retention

Employment connects with Transport (getting to work), Community Participation (building work-readiness through community activities), Daily Living Skills (self-management skills for the workplace), and Therapeutic Supports (addressing barriers to employment such as anxiety or social communication difficulties).

Referral Tips for Employment and Education

Employment supports require goal alignment between the participant, the provider, and the plan. When referring, check whether the participant needs SLES (school leavers), open employment support, or supported employment. Confirm the provider has employer relationships in the participant's field of interest. Employment outcomes should be documented as they are strong evidence for plan review funding decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SLES and open employment support?

SLES (School Leaver Employment Supports) is for participants aged 17-21 transitioning from school to work. It focuses on work experience, job readiness, and career exploration over a 2-year period. Open employment support is for participants of any age looking for work in the open labour market. Different providers specialise in each.

Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?

No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers.

How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?

Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on Carevo display their registration status on their profile.

What information should I include when making a referral?

Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
