This network of specialist employment services provides assistance to people with disability, injury or ill health. These services may be available to you if you are 14-65 years of age and an Australian resident.

If you do not already have a current assessment of your work capacity you will generally need to be assessed by a Job Capacity Assessment Provider before you can access these services. The Job Capacity Assessment Provider can then refer you to the service that best suits your needs.

Disability Management Service - for job seekers with a disability, injury or health condition who require the assistance of a disability employment service but who are not expected to need long-term support in the workplace.

Employment Support Service - for job seekers with a permanent disability and with an assessed need for more long-term, regular ongoing support needs in the workplace.
