More than 80,000 participants, over 200 disabilities each year

Disability Employment Services (DES) supports people with an incredibly diverse range of disabilities, injuries, and health conditions - more than 200 different types each year. 

Whether someone is living with a mental health challenge, a long-term illness, a physical or sensory disability, or a developmental condition, DES is designed to provide tailored support that meets individual needs.

From visible disabilities to those that are less apparent, we help thousands of Australians access inclusive employment opportunities and build meaningful careers every year.

No matter your condition, if it affects your ability to work, you could be eligible for support to help you take the next step.

Below are some of the most common conditions experienced by people supported by our team from July 2023 to June 2024.

We also share incredible stories from a wide range of Australians with disability who have achieved employment success.

If you're living with a disability, injury, or health condition, speak to our team about getting the right support to achieve your goals.
