Remember – whatever your situation, there is support available for you. If you want to and are capable of working, there are services available that can help you find and keep a job. While not all people with epilepsy identify as having a disability, a number of New Zealand programs provide specialist support to individuals and their employers, including:
-
Workbridge is New Zealand’s largest free employment service for disabled people or those with an injury or health condition.
- The New Zealand Government, through WINZ provides funding through the work and income to contribute to the costs of making workplace changes, including buying equipment, modifications, or accessing services for people living with a disability.
