- with Auslan interpreting and training to support Deaf employees and their co-workers in the workplace
- with independent and reliable productivity-based wage assessment to determine fair pay for fair work via the Supported Wage System
- with wage subsidies to increase the competitiveness of people with disability in gaining employment
- with meeting the cost of work-related insurance (personal accident and public liability insurance) via work experience activities to help overcome one of the main problems when organising work experience.
