Disability Employment Support

Disability employment support is a government-funded service designed to assist individuals with a disability or health condition in finding and maintaining meaningful work. It provides tailored assistance to help individuals achieve their employment goals while addressing the challenges they may face in the workplace.

These services often include help with building employment skills, job placement, and ongoing support to ensure long-term success. Participants work with a DES provider (Disability Employment Services) who assesses their needs, strengths, and employment capacity, creating a personalised plan that focuses on sustainable employment.

For those receiving an income support payment, disability employment support can also include connecting individuals to suitable roles while meeting their mutual obligations. By focusing on skill development, accessibility, and individual aspirations, this service opens the door to career opportunities that may otherwise seem out of reach.

Empacare’s approach to disability employment support ensures that participants are empowered to navigate their employment journey with confidence, paving the way for greater independence and fulfilment.

Disability employment services are designed to provide comprehensive support for people with a disability throughout their entire employment journey. From job preparation to long-term success in the workplace, these services focus on creating meaningful opportunities tailored to individual needs.

Ongoing Support for Sustainable Employment
