What Is SLES?

School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) is an NDIS Capacity Building support that helps young people transition from school into employment. It focuses on developing practical workplace skills, confidence, and independence so participants are better prepared for future work opportunities. To learn more about how the program works, explore our SLES Funding Explained guide, where you’ll find information about funding, eligibility, and the supports available.

Who Is Eligible for SLES?

SLES is generally available to eligible NDIS participants who are finishing school and want to build the skills needed for future employment. Eligibility is based on individual goals, support needs, and how SLES can help achieve greater independence.

Participants may be eligible if they:

• Are leaving or have recently left school
• Have employment goals in their NDIS plan
• Need support to prepare for work
• Would benefit from Capacity Building supports

Early planning with your NDIS planner or support team can help determine whether SLES is the right option for your employment journey.

How Does the NDIS Decide Eligibility?

The NDIS considers whether SLES is a reasonable and necessary support based on a participant’s individual circumstances, employment goals, and support needs. The aim is to ensure the support helps build skills for future employment.

Eligibility is typically based on:

• Employment goals in the NDIS plan
• Functional capacity and support needs
• Future employment aspirations
• Information discussed during planning meetings

What Happens After You’re Approved?

Once approved for SLES, you’ll work towards building the practical skills and confidence needed for future employment. Your supports are tailored to your goals and focus on developing independence through real-life learning experiences.

SLES may help you:

• Build workplace skills and confidence
• Gain practical work experience
• Improve communication and independence
• Prepare for open employment

To continue building workplace confidence and practical skills, explore our NDIS Innovative Community Participation service, where participants develop independence through meaningful community-based activities.

Preparing for Employment Beyond SLES

SLES is designed to prepare participants for long-term employment by building skills they can continue to use throughout their working lives. Ongoing practice and goal setting help participants become more confident and independent.

Key areas of development include:

• Communication skills
• Daily routines
• Workplace confidence
• Greater independence
