There are free online resources that can help you find out about different jobs and career options based on your skills and interests.

Getting started

When you are exploring careers, consider:

• your skills and abilities
• your work and life experience
• your unique strengths – what you can offer an employer that others can't
• what training you need and are willing to do.

If you're interested in a job but there are tasks you'll need to do in a different way because of your disability, there are many ways employers can support you. There may also be funding available to help.

For more information on support, visit Government services to help you find and keep a job.
