There’s a job out there for you.

Let’s go find it.

Disability Employment Services (DES) is an initiative by the Australian Government to help people with an injury, illness or disability find and keep a job.

This can include helping people to:

• manage health issues that may be making it hard to get work
• identifying their strengths and work capabilities
• developing skills for jobs and being part of a workplace
• succeed when they start a new job with further information and support

APM is Australia’s largest contracted provider of Disability Employment Services and we deliver support programs to eligible people across the country.

You can join APM for Disability Employment Services through Centrelink.

When you visit Centrelink, they carry out an employment assessment and if you're eligible, they will recommend you to a Disability Employment Services provider. Remember to ask to join APM so you get the best service when searching for employment.

To be eligible for Disability Employment Services, you must be:

• An Australian resident aged from 14 to 65

• Able to work between eight to 30 hours per week (with support when required)
• Not studying full time (unless you’re an eligible school leaver)

If you're already receiving an income support payment, you can also register with us directly.

If you’re with another provider, but would like to change to APM, contact us and our teams will be happy to speak to you.

When you register with APM for Disability Employment Services, we will contact you to confirm your eligibility and invite you for your first appointment.

You will get a local employment consultant who knows the employers, businesses and job opportunities near you.

We have all seen the disruption to businesses, communities and our day to day lives in 2020.

Many businesses in our communities have closed their doors, but many others are looking for people to join their team right now.

We’ve adapted our program delivery so we can carry out meetings and appointments safely via phone or online.
