Disability Employment Expos

Overview

The Disability Employment Expos will run for 12 months over 2023–24 to 2024–25. The program was announced as part of the Government’s 2023–24 Budget. The Disability Employment Expos will provide people with disability with high support needs, and their families and carers, with information on a range of employment pathways and available supports. The grant opportunity is open to a single provider or consortium who can deliver up to 8 expos nationally, including one virtual expo. The overarching outcomes intended for this grant are for people with high support needs because of their disability, and their families, to have: a better understanding of the various pathways to employment, and the role that employment related supports and services can play an opportunity to connect with local employers, including mainstream employers, who may be open to hiring people with disability, including those with high support needs. Up to $1.44 million is available from 2023–24 to 2024–25 for the expos.
