General

What is myWAY Employability? 

myWAY is an evidence-based career planner, co-designed with autistic individuals, and disability and employment specialists to meet the needs of autistic Career Explorers planning for employment or their next career move. 

We call our users career explorers, because we recognise that finding a career path is a journey. Using myWAY, career explorers will be guided through a series of questions to help them identify their strengths, interests, learning and sensory preferences. This information is then matched to potentially relevant careers and employment pathways. We also provide scaffolded goal setting to support active progress towards a successful career.

What is myWAY Employability Plus for Professionals (Individuals)?

myWAY Employability Plus (myWAY Plus) subscription unlocks additional features, designed for employers, service providers, and teachers, to support up to five neurodivergent Career Explorers with evidence–based personalised career insights, customisable profiles, and suggestions for workplace accommodations.

What is myWAY Employability Plus for Professionals (Organisations)?

A myWAY Plus for organisations enables professional teams to support up to 100 neurodivergent Career Explorers, access de-identified dashboard insights, and download progress reports at any time for tracking and impact measurement. 

^{*myWAY Employability Plus is free for Career Explorers under a Professional or Organisation subscription.} 

How do I access the Profile quizzes? 

The "About Me" Profile quizzes (Career Areas, Strengths, Preferred Workplace, Preferred Communication and Life Skills) are available for myWAY users registered as Career Explorers only. If you are a Supporter (e.g., Employment Specialist, Support Worker or Allied Health Professional) and would like to use myWAY with your client - register as a Supporter and invite your client to myWAY. Once they have registered as a Career Explorer, they will be able to access the "About Me" quizzes on their myWAY Dashboard.

How do I register?

You can sign up by completing the registration form on the Platform. Once registered, you’ll receive your own Account.

Who can register?

You must be at least 14 years old to create an Account and use the Platform.

What if I'm under 18?

If you are aged 14 to under 18, your parent or guardian must give their consent for you to use myWAY. When you register, you’ll be asked to enter their email address so they can provide this approval.

Do I need a formal diagnosis of autism to access? 

Not at all! While myWAY has been designed for the autistic community. It can be used by anyone to help plan a career. 

I’m looking for work - do you have a list of endorsed employers that can provide work experience or jobs? 

While we aren’t a service provider, we do have goal templates and information available to help you take steps towards finding work experience or a job that suits you.

Can a Career Explorer be part of more than one team? 

No. A Career Explorer can only be part of one Team. You can edit who is on that team on your Team page. 

Can a Supporter be part of more than one Team? 

Yes, a Supporter can be part of several Career Explorer Teams on myWAY. However, there are limitations on how many Teams you (as a Supporter) can create depending on whether you are an individual subscriber or part of an organisation subscription. Read more about the different subscriptions and inclusions.

I'm a Supporter who is no longer supporting my only Career Explorer. How do I invite a new client? 

You can remove your former client via your Dashboard. This will make your one Career Explorer slot available again and you can invite your new client. Upgrade to a paid subscription to be able to invite and support more than one Career Explorer. 

Can I find job listings and apply for jobs via myWAY? 

No. However, myWAY does have a Job Explorer that lists and informs you about different occupations to assist with searching and applying for jobs elsewhere. To access this tool, you must either be a Supporter on a paid subscription or a Career Explorer connected to a subscribing Supporter.

Where is myWAY’s data stored? 

We host myWAY within Australia in a secure data centre and meet the following standards: 

• Centre for Internet Security (CIS) Amazon Web Services (AWS) Foundations Benchmark v1.2.0
• AWS Foundational Security Best Practices V1.0.0. 

We understand some schools and organisations require further information to facilitate usage. Please contact us if you need help with this process.

Paid subscriptions

Does a Career Explorer pay for a myWAY subscription? 

No. myWAY is free for Career Explorers. Supporters, such as employment specialists, allied health professional, employers and educators can purchase a Professional (Individual) or Organisation subscription to enhance their support to Career Explorers using myWAY. 

I’m a subscribing Supporter. What happens to my Career Explorers’ Enhanced Profiles if I cancel my subscription? 

The Enhanced Profiles will not be deleted from the platform. You will still be able to view their basic profiles and quiz results. However, to continue to access them, you will need to renew your subscription.

My monthly subscription payment failed. Will I lose access to paid features? 

If your monthly payment failed, myWAY will attempt the payment twice more within 15 days before you lose access to the paid features. Check your Payment Methods to ensure your credit card details are correct. If not, remove the card and add your new one. Please refer to our Subscription Terms for further information on how we handle failed payments and subscription cancellations. 

Can my client use their NDIS funding to cover a myWAY Subscription? 

myWAY is one tool among many used by service providers to support job seekers. It is up to each service provider whether to include myWAY as part of their service offering. NDIS funding will be dependent on each client’s NDIS plan. Find out more about what services the NDIS funds here.
