School Leaver Employment Support
Finishing school soon, or finished recently? Let us prepare you for your dream job!
SLES is a new support service for year 12 school leavers that is designed to
specifically assist you and ease the transition from school into professional
employment, regardless of your particular circumstances
Our SLES service goes deeper than simply finding a person a job. It’s about laying
the foundation a young person will need to engage with employment now, and
into their future and building their capacity to live an independent life.

Kukoon’s Exciting SLES initiative – Team 13
We go beyond the standard SLES service. While you can still get all of the above,
we also have a new initiative called team 13. As part of this we design an
individual training program for each participant for the year, that will help team
members achieve their goals.
Becoming a Team Member is an important
part of the development of work skills.
Our SLES is highly personalised to every individual because no two people are the same
Everyone is a unique team
participant, with a unique role and a unique training plan.

FAQS about SLES
What is SLES?
NDIS SLES should not be delivered as a program or take a one-size-fits-all approach. These supports are person-centred, individually tailored, strategic and planned so participants of varying skills and needs can reach their employment goals. These supports are individualised, with a strong emphasis on trying and testing through work experience in a range of settings.
Who is SLES for?
School leaver employment supports are available to NDIS participants in their final year of school and those who have recently left school (generally up to age 22).
When is funding included in a plan?
The NDIS funds support for participants to help them prepare for work, find a job, and have ongoing supports when at work. Funding is based on the participant’s employment goals, individual circumstances and reports/assessments provided during the planning conversation.
How can school leavers with a disability join the NDIS?
If a student with a disability is leaving school and is not a NDIS participant, they need to:
– meet NDIS eligibility criteria
– complete and submit an access request.
