We’ve proudly been helping people who have a disability, injuries and health conditions into employment since 1992. Today, WISE Employment is one of Australia’s leading Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) providers.

We work with a range of small and large employers who see the value in long-term ongoing roles filled by, and created for, people who have a disability, and who understand and are open to the benefits of employing people with disability.

We offer ongoing support for as long as you and your workers need us. We’re on call especially if unforeseen events occur. Our passionate and skilled staff can visit your workplace to discuss your unique staffing needs.
Cost-free recruitment services
Our services are government-funded and we can help employers access additional financial support, such as wages subsidies for employing someone who has a disability. We can also provide your new workers with training specific to their jobs through government-funded initiatives. We can save you time and money with cost-free job training, post placement support and information about wage subsidies.
Benefits of employing people with disability
You might be surprised to know that just under one in five Australians have a disability.** This might be a physical disability, intellectual disability, long-term illness or a mental illness. In fact, it’s likely you have someone with a disability working for you right now.
Research shows that there are many benefits to employing people with a disability, including:
- People with a disability take fewer days off
- People with disability have fewer OH&S problems
- People with a disability stay with their employers longer than other staff
Just like any job seeker, many people with disability have valuable skills, qualifications and experience. The key is matching the right person to the right job. Please read more about our free recruitment services to employers.
