We understand everyone is different

That's why our teams focus on giving you tailored support to achieve the goals, or find employment that's right for you, regardless of your disability, injury, or health condition.

If you, or someone you know, lives with  an intellectual disability and wants to know more about finding a fulfilling job, we’re here to help.

Last year we supported 4,375 people with an intellectual disability to prepare for, find or stay in a job through Disability Employment Services (DES).

Intellectual disabilities can often co-exist with other conditions such as Down syndrome, Autism and learning disabilities.

If you’re living with an intellectual disability, and you're eligible for DES, we're here to help you identify and work towards your employment goals, including finding a job you love.

Get in touch on 1800 276 276 or register with APM to start your journey.
