Your right to have conditions for success understood

A hand drawn picture of a person standing and pointing at a whiteboard. The text on the whiteboard reads: Clear Communication, take time, one instruction at a time, show me. You know yourself best and that means you have the right to speak up about what helps you succeed at work.

This could include things like:

  1. the type of environment you feel comfortable in
  2. the management or communication style that works for you
  3. the assistive technology you might use
  4. how many hours you can realistically work

If you’re not sure yet what your conditions for success are, that’s okay. You can explore this with your employment consultant through things like site tours, volunteering, or work experience.

To help you think it through, check out the Barriers and Interventions tool on your Workforce app. It’s a great way to identify what support might help, like transport, further training, personal counselling, and more, and share that with your provider so you can get the right support in place.

If you don’t know what your conditions for success are, you can talk to your employment consultant about opportunities to explore them through site tours, volunteering, or work experience.
