Upcoming WorkAbility Expos

Connecting employers and people with disability

Have you heard about WorkAbility Expos?

They’re an initiative funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services and designed to help people with disabilities find meaningful employment.

Connecting employers and people with disability, these events are more than just job fairs. They provide supportive environments where people with disability can make meaningful connections and find resources to help them succeed on their employment journey.

So what can you expect at a WorkAbility Expo?

  • * Practical workshops: Participate in workshops to get you job-ready and provide advice on how to start your own business.
  • * Support services: Support services to help you get into the workforce. From training organisations to dedicated service providers, we provide you the opportunity to find the help to support you on your employment journey.
  • * Networking opportunities: You’ll have the chance to connect with employers who are committed to inclusive hiring practices and support services who are there to help you along the way.
  • * Learn from your peers: You will get to meet people with disability who have started their own business or who are already in the workforce.
  • * Workplace accommodations: Learn how to access workplace accommodations to ensure a safe and supportive work environment.
