NDIS School Leaver Employment Support Logan for Young People
Leaving school is a big step. For many young people with disability, it can also feel uncertain. Parents often ask the same questions:
What comes next?
Will my child find meaningful work?
How do we move from school into adult life with confidence?
NDIS School Leaver Employment Support Logan is designed to help young people move from school into work, confidence, and adult life. At Janalli Services, we help young people take that next step in a way that feels safe, practical, and achievable. Our goal is not just to find a job for these people. We want to help them feel confident and learn skills that they can use in their life. We also want to help them figure out what they want to do after they finish school. The NDIS School Leaver Employment Support program, at Janalli Services is here to support them every step of the way.
This service is designed for young people aged 17 to 24 who are finishing school and want support to move into employment, training, or further study.
What is School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES)?
The School Leaver Employment Support program, which people often refer to as the School Leaver Employment Support is something that the NDIS pays for. The School Leaver Employment Support is here to help people when they finish school. It assists them in getting a job and becoming an adult. The School Leaver Employment Support program is really, about supporting these people as they move into the workforce and start their adult life.
It is not about pushing someone into a job they’re not ready for. It is about helping the person you see the job is a thing and they need to be ready for it. Helping them is what it is about helping the person get ready, for the job.
- Understand their strengths and interests
- Build confidence in everyday situations
- Learn workplace and life skills
- Explore different job options
- Prepare for real employment
Every young person’s journey is different. Some may move into work quickly. Others may need time to build independence and confidence first. SLES allows that space.
How Janalli Delivers SLES in Logan
Janalli Services work closely with young people and families, in Logan to make sure they get the support they need in their everyday life. We do not use the program for everyone. That is because each person who takes part in our program has their goals and abilities and they like to do things at their own pace. Our team respects the goals and abilities of each participant and the pace at which they like to do things.
Our School Leaver Employment Support program is really three main things:
Building Everyday Independence
Before you can do a job you need to feel good about yourself in daily life. We help young people to handle their routines travel around talk to others and make good decisions. These skills, like managing routines and travel and communication and decision-making skills really make a big difference, in your work life and your personal life. For participants who need additional support with social skills, confidence and community engagement, our NDIS Innovative Community Participation services can complement School Leaver Employment Support programs.
Exploring Work and Study Options
We are here to help people figure out what they like to do and what they are good at. They might try out things learn about different jobs or get some basic skills that they can use at work. We want to help people discover what they enjoy like what activities they like to do and what they’re good at so they can make good choices, about their jobs.
Preparing for Employment
As young people become more confident we help the young people to:
- Understand workplace expectations
- Practice communication and teamwork
- Build resumes and interview skills
- Prepare for real employment opportunities
Where appropriate, participants may also benefit from NDIS Behaviour Support services to help build confidence, communication skills and positive routines that support employment goals.. The goal is not just a job, but long-term success and independence.
As a Registered NDIS Provider in Logan, Janalli Services works with participants, families and support coordinators to create personalised pathways towards greater independence.

How to Get School Leaver Employment Support in Your NDIS Plan
Many families know their child needs support after school, but are unsure how to make sure SLES is included in their NDIS plan.
At Janalli, we help families through this process so it feels clear and manageable.
We work with school leavers and their families to:
- Gather evidence that shows current support needs
- Shape goals around life after school, work readiness, and independence
- Prepare information for plan reviews or planning meetings
- Explain how SLES fits within NDIS funding
Our team can also support families in communicating with planners so the transition from school is properly recognised in the plan. This support helps ensure young people are not left without direction once school ends, and that the right funding is in place to move forward with confidence.
