Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) is a new program to help people with disability find and keep a job. It starts on 1 November.

Before, this program was called Disability Employment Services (DES).

One big change is that people who work less than 8 hours a week can now join IEA. This means more people can get support.

You also have a choice. Unless someone tells you that you must join, you don’t have to take part. You can choose support from other programs, like DSA’s Employment Connections program.

If you want to know more, contact us to talk about what’s best for you.
