Nine chapters. One honest process.
The book follows the same sequence used in our Finding & Keeping a Job/SLES services.
Understanding Your Function
Honest baselines. The four domains of function — and why your current capacity is a starting point, not a verdict.
Who Are You As a Worker?
Strengths, values, interests, and the identity grief that almost nobody names — but everybody feels.
What Vocational Rehabilitation Actually Is
What it is, what it isn't, and the NDIS funding pathway most people don't know exists.
Reading the Labour Market
How to research roles realistically, the underused power of informational interviewing, and pathways beyond direct employment.
Your Treating Team and Your Vocational Plan
How to bring your GP, specialists, and allied health into the conversation that actually shapes the plan.
The Skills You Need
Skills gap analysis, the Capacity Building Plan, and the skills people most often need to develop — even when they don't realise it.
Disclosure, Adjustments, and the Workplace
A framework for the conversation that produces the most anxiety — and how to frame it so it lands well. With expert input from Neal Shead, Obsidian HR.
Preparing Your Life for Work
Rebuilding the rhythm of a working day before the working day arrives — sleep, anchors, pacing, and why it's the quiet thing that makes everything else hold.
Staying In — Sustainable Employment
Placement is one thing. Lasting six months, twelve months, two years is another. The habits and supports that keep you in.
Why I wrote this book.
I've spent years inside the occupational rehabilitation system — the model that hands someone a list of three job options and calls it a vocational plan. I know what that looks like from the inside, and I know why it so often falls short.
I wrote this book because the people who most need good vocational support are the ones least likely to know it exists, least likely to know what to ask for, and most likely to have already been let down by a system that moved too fast.
If this book helps you ask better questions of the people supporting you, understand what you're entitled to, or simply feel less alone in what is a genuinely hard process — then it has done its job.
The question was never whether work was possible for you. It was always which work, under what conditions, and with what support.
