APM Employment Services
If your employee needs further support
Your new starter’s level of support gradually changes as they become used to working with you
In many cases we decrease the level of support needed and after 26 weeks we review the employment plan to see if they can work independently.
Depending on your employee’s needs and their progress, support could continue beyond 26 weeks.
As well as our comprehensive post placement support services, we may also help you make the best start with a new employee by:
- Assessing the need for workplace modifications, training or equipment
Creating ordered instructions, checklists or reminders for multiple duties
Working with you and your employee to overcome any issues that arise
Your employee’s success in your team is our main priority.
If you feel they need more support after they start with you, you can contact your dedicated APM employment consultant at any time to discuss additional options.
If things change
You don't have to lose a valuable member of your team if their circumstances change
If you're worried about losing your employee because of the impact of an injury, illness or disability, Work Assist can help.
Our Work Assist program provides support through assessments, training, workplace modifications, equipment, job redesign and access to allied health services.
Funded by the Australian Government, the service is provided at no cost to your business.
We work with you and your employee to find solutions to keep them in your team. These may include:
- Advice about redesigning the job so they can keep working
- Having your workplace assessed for possible changes
- Having your workplace modified so they can continue to work
- Specialised equipment to help your employee meet the job requirements
