Welcome to WISE. We'd love to help you.
About WISE Employment
WISE Employment is Australia's leading not-for-profit employment services provider.
We provide the Australian Government’s Workforce Australia employment program in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. We offer Inclusive Employment Australia across Australia in all states and territories: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.
A range of additional Programs and Services complement our government-funded employment services, which are free to eligible job seekers and employers.
Since 1992, we have been connecting and empowering job seekers and employers because we believe our community benefits when everyone is supported to achieve their potential.
Each year, we help on average more than 15,000 people on the path to self-sufficiency through meaningful work. We also assist employers to find the right person to complete their team. Since 2001, we have invested $3.5 million in projects to support the most disadvantaged in our community. We also operate three social enterprises in New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria, employing more than 500 people.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, learn and live. We recognise their continuing Custodianship and connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.
