Employment Support Program
Let your pathway to work start with us...
Our employment supports program has supported many people with disabilities find employment, so, whether you’re a school leaver or simply looking for a job, our experienced team will support you to find the best pathway towards employment for you. Our founder, Michael Cham, has been supporting people with disabilities for over 20 years to find unique work experiences and paid employment opportunities. Our program has supported thousands of young adults with disabilities transition into diverse roles from café baristas and kitchen hands, to government admins, landscapers, librarians, teacher’s aides, and more.
What separates us from the rest?
The key to our program’s success is our focus on helping you build confidence through real work experience. We believe this hands-on approach is the best way for people with disabilities to explore different jobs and discover what they truly enjoy. Work experience not only boosts your confidence but also highlights areas where you can grow.
For those unsure about their career direction, our program provides a valuable chance to try out various work environments and industries. Throughout your journey, our dedicated team will support you every step of the way, offering on-the-job training and guidance during your work experience. Our ultimate goal is to see you secure paid employment and provide ongoing support to ensure you succeed.
What will I learn during the Believeability employment program?
We work closely with you to develop a personalised plan focused on building the skills and confidence you need to succeed. Our program supports learning at your own pace, whether that be through gaining qualifications, completing apprenticeships, or practical, hands-on work experience. We also focus on realistic outcomes to maximise your chances of success and gaining employment.
Our experienced team will support you with work preparation, refreshing your reading and maths skills, if needed, and guide you through getting your driver’s licence and essential qualifications. Throughout your journey, we provide ongoing guidance and support to help you navigate the path towards employment.

Hear what our community has to say....
Since joining Believability Grace has become a much more confident, mature and independent young woman. This has developed from the support and encouragement received from Michael and his team of support workers. This is the first group that Grace has enjoyed being a part of, feeling that she belongs and has friends for the first time in her life.
Grace looks forward to attending the Saturday outings every week, as well as having midweek independent living skills support at home. This has helped her develop everyday skills at home, cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and organising her own room, as well as travel training to catch the local bus. It has been so encouraging seeing the positive changes as Grace’s confidence and independence has continued to develop.
I wanted to share our positive experience we have had with you and the team. My son’s Milton and Andrew have been a part of the Believability, SLES and social activity program. The program has given the confidence and the development for my sons to help support them in their adult years. We have seen a massive improvement in their interaction, understanding and comprehension with people and life skills. Milton now has employment with St George Leagues Club and Andrew is doing work experience.
The team at Believability helped to gain employment opportunities for my sons. I cannot thank the team enough for all they have done and continue to do for Milton and Andrew. Michael and his team genuinely care for their students wellbeing and are so focused in helping them through life and with their development. I highly recommend Believability to any parent considering enrolling their children in this program. I trust Michael and his team implicitly.
Thank you for everything.
We wish to convey to yourself and the whole team at Believability our sincere thanks and appreciation for the outstanding support, training and guidance that you have provided to our Son Darcy for the previous three years.
Like all parents we were both anxious and concerned that on completion of High School that Darcy would both struggle and be significantly challenged without continued support as he transitioned to either Tertiary Education or within the workforce.
We are extremely proud of Darcy’s achievements and very grateful for support and continued assistance that Believability have always offered during such a vital period of these wonderful young adults as they navigate a challenging world.
We have had an incredible experience with Believeability for our daughter. Their social outings and supported short holidays around Australia have given her so much joy and confidence. The highlight was an unforgettable overseas trip to Japan—something we never thought would be possible!
They’ve also helped her build life skills, especially through cooking lessons that are both fun and empowering. Most importantly, the staff are absolutely amazing—genuine, trustworthy, and always supportive. We truly feel our daughter is valued and safe in their care. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
