Having a paid job can really help to improve your health and overall wellbeing. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a proven employment support approach that helps people find and keep jobs, while also receiving mental health treatment and support.
Why is IPS so effective?
Designed to break down barriers and revolutionise the way we connect people with work, IPS employment support is a proven methodology that prioritises a person’s unique goals, aspirations, and abilities alongside mental health support.
The intensity of this model really sets it apart. It’s a collaborative, community endeavour that achieves great results.

To ensure employment is a priority for people who access mental health services, you need a plan that engages everyone right across the health system.
