No, that’s the great thing about our program, you can select the modules that suit you best.

We can offer our training sessions both face to face with up to 30 people, or online. They are presented by our staff with lived experience of disability.

We can also offer online options too. Ask us about our bundle options.

You can enrol in our Employment program through our website. Visit the Candidate page for more details or send us a message via the contact page.


Our head office is in Little Bay, in Sydney NSW and we have staff in additional areas of NSW, VIC and SA.  We consider ourselves nationwide and help both employees and employers right across Australia. Our Employment Program is run online and can be accessed anywhere you have an internet connection.

You have no legal obligation to tell your prospective employer that you have a disability.  

During the early stages of the job application process, the focus on the resume and the cover letter should be on matching your skills and experience to the job advertised. 

 
If your disability does not affect your ability to perform the core function of the role, it is not necessary at this stage to disclose it. You may still feel that it is necessary to disclose the disability if: 

  • It is relevant to perform the role 
  • You are likely to need workplace adjustments to perform the role 
  • You think the employer is disability friendly and you feel comfortable disclosing. 

If you do feel comfortable disclosing your disability pre interview, it will provide you with an excellent opportunity to check accessibility and then have a top line discussion about reasonable adjustments that you may require to eliminate any elements of doubt or concern.
