Since commencing the Disability Employment Services (DES) contract in 2018, My Pathway has supported the take up of more than 750 jobs that interest our participants and appeal to their needs, skills and abilities. Our participants (87%) say that finding a job is one of the most important aspects of DES, but they want to be better understood and receive ongoing assistance to do the things they want.
We recognise and expect the changes to the Disability Services Act 1986 (the Act) will aim to improve the lives of, and support, people with a disability, their families and carers. It will set the legislative framework for Australian disability services including DES.
