Jobs for people with physical disabilities - We can help you to find a job

At APM we know your disability doesn’t define you

We support thousands of people with a wide range of physical disabilities, injuries, or health conditions to prepare for, find, and thrive in secure employment every year.

Last year, 24,950 people with physical disabilities were with APM to receive support through Disability Employment Services (DES).

This included more than 8,000 people with spinal disorders and back pain - one of the most common types of physical disability in Australia.
