Disability Employment Services (DES)

Building inclusive workplaces

DES is the ideal way for many businesses to begin – or continue – their journey towards a more inclusive workplace. There are several different DES subsidies available from the Federal Government for eligible employers. Each works slightly differently, but all have a similar goal of making diversity and inclusion more achievable in Australian workplaces.

As one of Australia’s leading DES providers, we will use our extensive pool of candidates to match suitable individuals for your role. We will then provide on-the-job support and training for as long as is required to ensure your new team member is a success! We can also co-ordinate allied health service partners for additional support, as required.

Why build a more inclusive workplace with DES?​

  • Little or no cost to your business
  • Motivated, hard working and reliable team members
  • Reduced need for paying recruitment fees
  • Diversity changes workplaces and lives
  • It’s that simple!
