Support for Employers
Looking to build a more inclusive workplace or support an employee who may be finding it difficult to manage their role due to injury, illness or disability? Maxima can help you reframe what’s possible through our Employment Support and Work Assist programs.
Maxima’s Employment Support Program ensures that candidates placed by us are fully supported to achieve their best.
For team members who may be experiencing challenges at work due to illness, injury or disability, our Work Assist Program provides tailored workplace support to help you and your employee maintain wellbeing and productivity.
Employment Support Program
When a new employee joins your team, you want them to feel comfortable, confident, and able to contribute from the start. Over time, it’s important that they continue to develop and perform at their best.
Maxima’s Employment Support Program provides ongoing guidance and assistance to help your new team members thrive.
We provide appropriate support and guidance, so you can stay focused on running your business.
Maxima’s Employment Support is specifically tailored to the specific needs of the employee and the employer, and can include:
Coaching and mentoring from industry experts.
Our experienced employment support consultants work with organisations across a wide range of industries. They stay informed about current trends and challenges in each sector, particularly those affecting specific job roles. Acting as trusted coaches and advisors, they provide practical guidance to help maintain productivity, motivation, and career growth.
Additional training where required.
Sometimes a new employee may need additional training to meet the specific needs of your workplace. Maxima can help by recommending suitable training options and coordinating the process for you.
We can also support your broader team with diversity and disability awareness training, helping to create an inclusive environment where every employee can contribute confidently. Our consultants are happy to discuss your needs and arrange training to ensure a smooth and successful experience.
Referral to other services and providers.
Maxima employment support consultants can coordinate referrals to other services, including allied health providers, when required for a new employee. We manage these arrangements to ensure there’s no impact on attendance or productivity, so your business continues running smoothly.
Ongoing support for both employer and employee.
Employees are encouraged to attend regular sessions with our experienced consultants to review their roles and tasks, address any challenges, enhance skills, support career growth, and discuss training needs. They can also meet with you as the employer, if desired, to ensure they continue to be a valuable contributor to your organisation.
Ongoing advice/support on workplace modifications (if needed)
Most employees won’t require workplace modifications. If adjustments are needed, our experienced consultants can recommend the best approach and assist with funding applications.
With Maxima’s expertise and support, employees are able to perform effectively and succeed in their roles.
Work Assist
As an employer you know the worth of your experienced employees. Not only are they valued members of your team, you’ve invested in their development, training and their experience.
You’ve invested in your employees’ skills, knowledge, and experience – key elements that drive your business. When employees face illness, injury, or disability, their contribution can be at risk, and their workplace satisfaction can be affected.
Maxima works with you and your employee to find practical solutions, helping them stay engaged and productive while maintaining their value to your organisation.
At absolutely no cost to you or your employee, Maxima can provide up to 12 months of workplace-based assistance such as:
- Face-to-face support.
- Advice about job redesign.
- A comprehensive workplace assessment.
- Workplace modifications or special equipment.
- Personal support in the workplace to help manage the impact of the injury, disability or health condition.
The Federal Government, through the Inclusive Employment Australia service, funds this program.
Eligibility
Your employee may be eligible for Work Assist if they:
- have been in their role for a minimum of 12 weeks, or it is expected the role will continue
- may struggle to remain in their role due to disability, injury or health conditions including mental ill health, and

Maxima has the expertise and experience to further explain the eligibility requirements of the Work Assist program to you and your employee.
