Have your say about the future of Disability Employment Services

Shape your new Disability Employment Support Program

The government has now opened their Disability Employment Services (DES) consultation.

There will be some big changes to DES starting in 2023 and this is our chance to have a say on what the new DES model should look like.

More information is available on the DSS Engage website.

Inclusion Australia is doing a major submission.

We want to hear from you!

Inclusion Australia will be talking to people with intellectual disability, families and supporters to hear about:

  • Your experiences with DES
