The Australian Government values the contribution people with
disability make to Australian society and believes that people with
disability want to work and should be supported in their efforts to
get and maintain a job.
Disability Employment Services are uncapped, so that all eligible
people with disability have immediate access to the service they
need. There are no waiting lists.
Multiple existing programs have been streamlined into two clearly
distinct programs, making assessment and referral processes less
complex.
- Disability Management Service for job seekers with disability,
injury or health condition who require the assistance of a
disability employment service but are not expected to need
long-term support in the workplace.
- Employment Support Service for job seekers with permanent
disability and with an assessed need for more long-term, regular
support in the workplace.
All eligible job seekers with disability will have access to
individually tailored and comprehensive services which meet their
needs including capacity building, training, work experience and
other interventions to help participants obtain and maintain
suitable employment.
A key distinguishing feature of Disability Employment Services is
their capacity to support and manage a participants condition in
the workplace, along with providing ongoing support in the
workplace for as long as it is required.
CVGT Australia has been successful in attaining the DES Employment
Support Service contract in the Goulburn Valley (Victoria).
