Our networks

Workskills has an established history of working with multiple community organisations and stakeholders to support people with a disability to achieve education, employment and social outcomes. We have established relationships with the local TAFE's and other registered training providers. We routinely liaise with the TAFE Disability Consultants and Careers Advisors to ensure our jobseekers receive the support they need to complete their chosen course.

We have strong relationships with an array of community agencies that represent disadvantaged groups with a particular focus on mental health and indigenous services. Direct liaison and referrals to health professionals ensures that our jobseekers get the best assistance to help them achieve their vocational goals. We work closely with centrelink and support jobseekers to attend Assessments and Appointments in person or over the phone to achieve the best result.

To ensure we understand the needs of our local employers and to increase awareness of our service, Workskills Consultants are constantly out and about speaking to local business owners about their needs and negotiating job opportunities for their job seekers.

Workskills in both metropolitan and regional areas is recognised as industry leaders in the support of people with disability and in both DES-ESS and DES-DMS, Workskills have achieved some of the highest performance across Australia over the past 8 years.

External performance data is supported by feedback from our annual survey to clients and employers which show a satisfaction rating consistently at 90% plus for all survey questions. Workskills is also regularly highly commended by our Quality Assurance auditors in relation to our focus on the achievement of individualised quality employment outcomes.

"We currently support 1300 participants. We know that employment is the key to a better life and we do our level best to support our jobseekers into jobs" (Senior Manager, Workskills).

About us

Workskills was initially established in 1992 as the employment service for The Disability Trust, operating from offices in Warrawong and Fairy Meadow. As a result of our success we have expanded our operations with offices in Shellharbour, Nowra, Mittagong and Goulburn to better service our jobseekers and employers.

Workskills assists people with a disability to participate in the economic and social life of the community with respect for their dignity, diversity and equality. Providing Disability Employment Service (ESS), Disability Management Services (DMS) and School Leaver Employment Supports we are able to provide quality employment services to people with all disability types. We have extensive experience working with the challenges and opportunities of the local labour market and with job seekers who are school leavers, homeless, ex-offender, mature age, indigenous and from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Our Employment Consultants hold a range of qualifications and vocational backgrounds that equip them to best support both employers and job seekers.

Workskills have always believed that employment is the key to a better life and to achieve this goal and for over 26 years we have assisted thousands of job seekers to find jobs, start careers and become independent.
