The Australian Government is committed to ensuring people with disability, injury or a health condition have equal opportunities to gain employment. Disability Employment Services (DES) is the main employment service for people with disability, illness and/or health condition.
People with disability may be eligible for one of two different parts of the DES program:
- Disability Management Service is for job seekers with disability, injury or health condition who need assistance to find a job and occasional support in the workplace to keep a job.
- Employment Support Service is for job seekers with permanent disability who need help to find a job and who need regular, ongoing support in the workplace to keep a job.
