Disability Employment Network
The Disability Employment Network (DEN) provides specialist assistance to job seekers with disabilities who require on going support to find and maintain employment. DEN is delivered by a network of organisations – large and small – around Australia.
A job seeker can be referred to DEN if they:
- have a permanent (or likely to be permanent) disability and
- have a reduced capacity for communication, learning or mobility and
- require support for more than six months after placement in employment.
In addition to these criteria, a job seeker will be referred to DEN if they require specialist assistance to build capacity in order to share the financial, social and personal benefits that employment offers.
Open employment services assist job seekers to gain and maintain employment in the open employment market or to become self-employed. They provide training, job placement and on-the-job support. Each year open employment services helps more than 50 000 people with moderate to severe disabilities find and keep work.
For more information about how DEN members can help you, or to locate your local service, visit jobaccess.gov.au or phone a JobAccess Adviser on 1800 464 800.
