Supported Employment

Sunnyfield sites operate from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. We would like people to work a minimum of 3 full days if they are able to. If you attend other programs during the week, we can be flexible with the days that you work.

If you are able to get public transport, staff can assist you to identify the best transport routes to your work site. All our work sites are accessible using public transport and a short walk to the site. If you need assistance with transport, you will need to discuss options with your support person or family to make these arrangements. Sunnyfield can provide travel training on request.

Sunnyfield staff will discuss your terms and conditions of employment, including your rate of pay, when you come for the site visit. The amount you will be paid depends on your work skills and previous employment experience. We offer very competitive rates of pay under the Supported Employment Service Award.

Sunnyfield offers a variety of employment opportunities for people with disability. You can view all our options under the Employment Opportunities section of our website.

NDIS Plan

It is not mandatory to bring but will help us to identify your available supported employment funding and review your NDIS goals so we can find the right role based on your needs and abilities.

Personal Identification

• Pension and Medicare cards
• Tax File Number
• Superannuation details (if you have this set up)

Training Documents

• Training certificates
• Employment references

Medical Information & Circle of Support

If you take any medication during the day we will need the details of this medication for your personal records. If someone is supporting you at home or elsewhere in your life, such as a family member, your doctor or an advocate, you should also bring their contact details so we can keep these in your personal records.

Sunnyfield is committed to the safety and wellbeing of our valued clients and staff. Our teams are trained in Work Health and Safety (WHS) with access to a First Aid Officer at each site. The sites are audited regularly for WHS and we are continuously keeping safe work environments in the front of our minds.
