Disability, injury, or health condition?

We're dedicated to finding the right job match for eligible people with disability, injury, or a health condition, with employers big and small.

When you register for DES, we start by getting to know and understand you. 

We discuss your interests, the type of work you would like to do, and your employment goals.

You may be eligible for Disability Employment Services if you are:

  • Aged 14 to 67 and legally allowed to work
  • Getting an income support payment or the Disability Support Pension
  • An NDIS participant or eligible school leaver

Speak to our Disability Employment Services team today about how to prepare for, find, and keep a job that's right for you.
