Personal Support Programme (PSP)
People eligible for PSP need individualised attention because of their difficult circumstances. They may face homelessness, drug and alcohol problems, psychological disorders, domestic violence or other significant barriers to participating in employment, study or the community. PSP is an employment program that provides individual support to participants who, because of multiple non-vocational barriers, are unable to get a job, study or benefit from employment programs such as Job Network, Disability Employment Network and Vocational Rehabilitation Services.
Service providers help participants work towards economic or social outcomes. Economic outcomes include transferring to work, employment assistance programs and study or vocational training. Social outcomes include stabilised circumstances, increased community engagement, stable accommodation and improved life skills.
