School Leaver Employment Support (SLES)

SLES is an early intervention approach for NDIS participants of school leaving age, helping transition to the right option to suit your goals. It’s about linking abilities to passions and interests, in order to find fulfilling work or leisure activities.

Rocky Bay is a registered NDIS provider for SLES. Our customers, typically aged in years 11 or 12 at school, use this time to explore their abilities, their likes and dislikes, and learn new skills.

The SLES program is aimed at high school students, usually in year 11 or 12, who are starting to consider their future after finishing school. The earlier you start the better – meaning once you’ve finished school, you know what your plan is and are ready to get started.

Costs will depend on the activity and the travel involved (if any). Ask our Customer Engagement team for pricing on specific activities.
