New Disability Employment Services Announced:

Successful organisations for the Australian Government’s new $1.2 billion Disability Employment Services program, to begin on 1 March 2010, have been announced. One of the significant changes is the removal of the cap on the number of people who can access help. There will be sixty-six organisations from more than 1100 sites delivering Disability Employment Services Program A, which is for job seekers with disability, injury or health condition who require assistance but are not expected to need long-term support in the workplace. A list of successful organisations by Employment Service Area for 2010-2012 is available at http://www.workplace.gov.au.
