Employment assistance

Employment Assistance is discretionary and aims to improve client outcomes (employment and social) by moving clients and partners (if any) closer to independence.

This assistance primarily focuses on those at risk of receiving a benefit long term by granting special assistance to help a client or partner facilitate transition into, and to retain sustainable employment.

Clients applying for some types of assistance may need to have income and assets below certain limits. See: Income limit and Asset limit
