“The Australian Foundation for Disability – People Achieving Extraordinary Things”

Our Open Employment (DEN) programme provides specialist assistance to job seekers with a moderate disability to find and maintain employment.  A job seeker can be referred to DEN if they:

• have a permanent (or likely to be permanent) disability and  
• have a reduced capacity for communication, learning or mobility and
• require support for more than six months after placement in employment 

The Australian Foundation for Disability assists jobseekers by providing advocacy to employers to obtain a suitable position.  A range of support is available to employers to support the recruitment process.  This includes:

• The Supported Wage System.
• Workplace Modifications Scheme.
• Wage subsidy.
