A new specialist disability employment program
The Australian Government is making a new specialist disability employment program. This will be ready in 2025 and it will replace the current Disability Employment Services (DES) program.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) has made a plan about what the new program will be like. This plan talks about how disability employment services will run in the new program.
You can find information about the plan here. The Easy Read version of the plan is here.
DSS has asked for feedback from the community. DSS will use the feedback to make an updated plan for the new program later this year.
Inclusion Australia made a submission talking about how to make the new program work well for people with an intellectual disability and families. You can read our submission here (or click below): Specialist Disability Employment Program
