Job Capacity Assessment

PPC is a contracted provider to the Department of Human Services to deliver Job Capacity Assessments (JCA) as a key part of the Government's Welfare to Work package.

The purpose of this service is to identify a person's ability to work and any barriers they may face in finding and retaining a job. Assessors are qualified and experienced professionals with expertise on the evaluation of capacity for work, disability services and the labour market.

JCA's are used to assist persons requiring the following:

  • Access to income support payments made by the Government
  • Identifying the type of assistance required in finding and maintaining a job
  • Accessing employment and related services to assist in preparing, finding and sustaining work

Persons attending a JCA will participate in an evaluation of the barriers they face in finding and keeping a job. Discussion may also take place about referral options to employment and related services. In most cases, the assessment takes place at a PPC office.

PPC conducts JCA's at the following locations in South Australia:
