Supporting your autistic child through their first job 💼
(what parents wish they knew earlier)

A first job can be exciting — and overwhelming. Many parents tell us they wished they’d known earlier that employment support isn’t just about getting a job, but about finding the right fit and having support once work begins.

Through Inclusive Employment Australia, delivered by ProActiv People in partnership with Autism SA, autistic adults (18+) can access employment support designed specifically for autism.

Parents and carers often find support is most helpful when it:
✅builds confidence before applications and interviews
✅helps young people find roles that match their strengths
✅supports workplaces to make practical adjustments
✅provides ongoing support if challenges arise once a job starts

Who the program is for:
Inclusive Employment Australia supports autistic adults (18+) with a confirmed diagnosis who want help to prepare for work, find employment, or stay in a job.

Support includes:
✅Job preparation and confidence‑building
✅Connections to inclusive employers
✅Ongoing, personalised support once work begins

📍 Current capacity is available across Northern Adelaide — including Elizabeth, Salisbury, Gawler and Modbury.
Support is also available across Adelaide, with additional hubs at Christies Beach, Tonsley, Seaton and Port Adelaide.
