Job in Jeopardy

• Job in Jeopardy assistance is immediate support to help employees who are likely to lose their job as a result of their disability, illness or injury, and is available through Disability Employment Services
• The 'Job in Jeopardy' program is funded by the Australian Government
• The employee does not necessarily have to already be a customer of a DES to be eligible for the program. This means that support is available at any time to help navigate through the process, and keep a valued employee in work
• By creating and maintaining strong relationships with individual employers, a DES is well-placed to provide access to the Job in Jeopardy program if required
