Disability Employment Services
Disability Employment Services are available only people to with a permanent (or likely permanent) disability, and provide longer term, more personalised support to build capacity, look for work and stay in employment.
With the introduction of DES access to training will also form part of the assistance provided. Some financial assistance is available to participants to obtain work related items or training, but is subject to negotiation with each provider. The service provides access to the Wage Subsidy Scheme and assistance to access the Supported Wage System and Workplace Modifications Scheme.
Special measures are in place to;
-
Provide support for school leavers with disability to look for work
-
Provide support for existing workers with disability whose employment is in jeopardy as a result of their disability
-
Provide support for pre-release prisoners with disability to look for work
-
Provide support for specific disability types from specialist providers
