Our employers

At EPIC, we assist businesses to hire people with disability for roles within their organisations. We take the time to understand the businesses’ needs and find the right person for the job.
We work with businesses to break down barriers around hiring people with disability, and help build more diverse and inclusive workplaces.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

  • The right person for the role: We take the time to understand your business culture, values, challenges, and the skills and talent you’re looking for to make sure we find a person who is a great fit for your team.
  • Transparent communication: Before the person starts in your workplace, we’ll brief you about the job seeker, their disability and how best to support them. After they have started work, we will check in with you regularly via phone, email or in person. That way, everyone remains on the same page and any issues are resolved immediately.
  • Ongoing support: This is what sets us apart from other providers. Once your employee is on-the-job, we’ll check in regularly to see how they’re progressing, and how you’re doing too. If the employee needs hands-on support to do their job, we’ll work alongside them every shift until they no longer need our help.

What our employers say:
“EPIC understand our business and we really appreciate their support for not only the client but us as well,” Woolworths, South Brisbane.
“I like that EPIC have given me the opportunity to employ people who might not be able to get employment otherwise, they provide a valuable service in the community which I really appreciate,” Three Blue Ducks, Byron Bay.
