Disability is part of our human diversity, and we are committed to building an inclusive workforce – one which embraces diversity and where all people are valued and have the opportunity to participate.

You and your business now have the opportunity to play a big part in turning a disability into a possibility.

With a focus on your job placement requirements we aim to match the right person to the job, support the placement on an ongoing basis to ensure a successful and sustained employment outcome.

Our job seekers may have an illness, injury, disability or come from a disadvantaged background – factors which may be perceived as barriers to employment. In reality these can be overcome through a range of strategies including both pre and post placement support from Wesley Employment Services. This support enables our job seekers to bring a range of skills, talents and abilities into your workplace.

Increasingly the business world is embracing the concepts of good corporate citizenship and corporate social responsibility, with affirmative action and equal employment strategies specifically in place to develop an inclusive and diverse workforce.

With a focus on your job placement requirements we aim to match the right person to the job.

What is a Disability?

Although some people are born with a disability, others would have spent most of their lives without a disability. Disability can result from an accident, illness, congenital or genetic disorders; and there are many different kinds of disability.

A disability may be visible or hidden, may be permanent or temporary, and may have a minimal or substantial impact on a person’s abilities.

People with a disability are represented throughout our community – men, women and children; employers and employees; students and teachers; customers and citizens, and people from all ethnic backgrounds.
