DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROVIDER

EVERYONE IS UNIQUE, AND WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT EMPLOYMENT GOALS

Disability Employment Services is an Australian Government initiative designed to provide eligible people living with disability, injury or a health condition access to individually tailored employment services.

We provide support into work and find jobs for people:

• with autism
• living with mental health concerns like anxiety or depression
• living with physical disability
• living with intellectual disability
• who are injured or sick and cannot return to their previous job

We can also support you if you are currently working and your job is at risk due to living with disability, illness or injury.

We focus on your ability and support you to find meaningful work that suits you and your current circumstance.

The more help you need, the more you get. Whether you want to supplement your income support payment with a part-time job, return to the workforce after an injury or health condition, or overcome a barrier to employment, our disability employment services is here to help.

Our comprehensive suite of services enables us to deliver flexible, fully-personalised programs for you. Each year, we help hundreds of people to find and maintain employment in these regions:

• QLD (Gold Coast, Brisbane, Logan, Mt Isa and Cairns)
• NSW (Northern Rivers, Wollongong)
• VIC (Bayside and Peninsula)
• ACT/Queanbeyan

We are proud to be an advocate for all people who are interested in working regardless of their circumstance.

Driven by our values of compassion, working with integrity, and a commitment to driving and embracing change, we know that we’re leading the nation’s shift toward recognising the abilities and contributions of every Australian. By building open and honest relationships with every one of our customers, we see the value in every workplace candidate and strive to help them see their unique way of contributing to the world as well.

Focused first on social engagement and building connections and then equipping our clients with the practical skills needed to navigate the workforce, we’re proud to be a disability employment services provider, working alongside Australia job seekers who are looking for extra support.
