Helping people with an injury, illness or disability find and keep a job.
Disability Employment Services (DES) is an Australian Government Initiative that helps people with a disability, injury or health condition (including anxiety and depression) find and keep a job.
Our goal is to find employment solutions that work for our participants, their needs, skills, experience and interests.
DES provides eligible participants with access to tailored help based on their assessed needs.
This could include:
- help looking for work
- writing a résumé
- preparing for interviews
- referrals to jobs
- training and help to settle into a job including workplace modifications (if needed).
Once you have a job, we will stay in touch and support you and your new employer, this is called post placement support (PPS). PPS ensures that should any problem arise, it can be resolved quickly to ensure continuity of employment. This means that you have the best chance of finding the right job and staying employed.

Project Manager
We fell in love with Chris at the first meeting. We knew he would be a really good match. We were able to tailor his tasks to the things that he was capable and happy to do. Kelly made this so much easier for us from his inductions. She helped Chris with first aid, CPR, and the working with children’s check.
