Jobs in Jeopardy
Disability Employment Services can assist customers who are at risk of losing their employment in the immediate future as a result of their illness, injury or disability through Jobs in Jeopardy assistance. Jobs in Jeopardy services are not designed to assist with finding new employment but are intended to assist customers to maintain their current employment.
Jobs in Jeopardy participants will receive face to face support, as well as assistance such as:
- advice about job redesign
- workplace assessments
- workplace modifications
- specialised equipment to help you perform the requirements of the job.
To be eligible for Jobs in Jeopardy assistance, you must have been employed for at least 8 hours a week on average over the last 13 weeks, and not be receiving assistance from another Disability Employment Services Provider. Customers who meet these requirements can approach a Disability Employment Services Provider directly for assistance, and can contact Centrelink for information on their local providers.
