Direct access to employment pathways • Services will facilitate direct access to the labour market (within 4 weeks) developing and utilizing a precise job/person match - without insistence upon prolonged “getting ready” activities or pre-vocational training • No clients will be “screened out” or denied service based upon a perceived severity of challenge or disadvantage 4. Inclusive services; socially inclusive outcomes 5. “Life match” through choices • Work is a means to an end and should complement and enhance a person’s life and well-being, and the achievement of their aspirations and potential • Support services and strategies are designed to achieve the best possible long term outcome for both employer and employee, and promote the development of natural supports which may lead to the withdrawal of formal support services 6. On-going workplace support
