The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator service aims to increase the number of job vacancies available to Disability Employment Services for people with disability. 

The Service is funded by the Australian Government to create at least 1000 new job opportunities each year for people with disability who participate in Disability Employment Services.

How does it work?

The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator service works with large employers to develop a Memorandum of Understanding. The employer commits to increasing their recruitment of people with disability.

Once employers make a commitment to work with the National Disability Recruitment Coordinator service, the service helps the employer to implement practices to employ people with disability as well as training staff in working with people with disability. The service also provides information about the Disability Employment Services and other support available to the employer.

The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator sends information about the employer’s job vacancies to Disability Employment Services providers who service the area where the jobs are located. It offers a free pre-screening interview service at the point of recruitment to help make referrals of potential applicants as suitable as possible.

The service facilitates the development of relationships between large employers who employ more than 100 people across different locations to make it easier for the employer to develop their knowledge of Disability Employment Services and the support that they provide to people with disability, including support in the workplace.
