How JobAccess helps people with disability
We offer people with disability:
- Expert advice on finding and keeping a job
- Workplace adjustments and modifications through the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF)
- Financial support for assistive technology, training, and workplace accessibility
- Resources and guidance on employee rights and workplace support.
The goal is to remove barriers for people with disability at work, helping them get work and progress in their careers.
How JobAccess supports employers
Employing people with disability can boost workplace diversity, innovation, and productivity. JobAccess helps employers by providing:
Workplace Adjustments and the EAF
JobAccess helps both employers and employees access financial support for workplace changes. The EAF funding may cover:
- Assistive technology (e.g., screen reader software)
- Physical workplace modifications (e.g., accessible ramps, lighting, sound)
- Specific disability awareness training for staff
- Auslan interpreting services.
We manage the entire process, including free workplace assessments if required.
Building Disability-Confident Workplaces
The NDRC helps employers create accessible and equitable hiring practices. Through an employer partnership, you can receive:

Why Inclusive Employment Matters
One in five Australians has a disability, but only half of those of working age have jobs. JobAccess helps bridge this gap. We equip employers with the tools to hire and support people with disability. Inclusive workplaces enjoy:
- Higher staff morale and loyalty
- Improved customer service and brand reputation
- Access to diverse skills and perspectives.
Hiring people with disability isn’t just right—it makes good business sense.
