Employment Assistance Fund

ADHD workplace coaching may be funded through the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF)

If you're an Australian employee (or about to start work) and ADHD is making work more difficult than it needs to be, you may be eligible for funding through the Australian Government's Employment Assistance Fund (EAF).

The EAF can provide funding for workplace supports, including Specialist Mental Health Support services such as ADHD workplace coaching, where these supports are required to help someone perform the inherent requirements of their role.

Coaching may help if you're finding it difficult to:

  • get started on important work

  • prioritise competing tasks

  • manage workload

  • plan and organise work

  • regulate attention throughout the day

  • follow through on tasks

  • reduce overwhelm

  • build sustainable workplace strategies

Who may be eligible?

You may be eligible if you:

  • have a formal ADHD diagnosis

  • are employed, self-employed or about to commence employment

  • meet the eligibility requirements set by JobAccess.

Eligibility and funding decisions are made by JobAccess.
