Welcome to the Centre for Inclusive Employment

The purpose of the Centre is to provide resources, tools and training to help providers deliver quality employment services and supports to both people with disability and employers.

The Centre will work collaboratively with people with disability, employment service providers and programs, employers, researchers and others to bring evidence-informed practice into employment service systems.   

The Centre supports providers and other stakeholders with practical, evidence-based resources that will continue to expand and evolve – helping to build stronger services and open more pathways to meaningful work for people with disability.
