Our Disability Employment Services make it easier for you to find and keep a job that’s perfect for your ability. We’ve been working within the community for more than 20 years. So, we know the jobs, the employers and can connect you to roles quicker.
Are you looking for work?
Community Solutions is your local provider for Disability Employment Services (DES). We deliver two types of DES programs:
Employment Support Service: For people with a permanent disability and an assessed need for longer term, regular support in the workplace.
Disability Management Service: For people with disability, mental ill-health, illness, or injury who need the help of an employment service but do not expect to need long-term support in the workplace.
You can find out more about the Disability Employment Services at the Australian Government website
With fewer jobs becoming available, job seekers need access to local roles now more than ever. We live and work in your community and have strong relationships with local employers. Therefore, we can find tailored job options for you and will connect you to employers sooner.
We know that it can be frustrating to find a provider who will listen to your needs. As well as providing on-going support during your job seeking path, our team of specialists will listen and take the time to understand your needs and challenges.
Through working together, we will develop your unique support and enable you to reach your working goals. For example:
