A bit about our employment service

Disability Employment Service (DES) & Specialised Employment Support

We deliver our specialised employment supports as part of the Department of Social Services’ Disability Employment Service (DES). DES is designed to help people address any barriers or issues that are stopping them from finding work and maintaining employment. This includes people living with disability as well as people who may not identify as having a disability, but still need extra support. People living with health conditions, injury or mental ill-health could all be eligible for our services and extra support in their job search.  If you have a diagnosed condition that impacts your ability to find work in your local area – you could be eligible for extra support.
