On 1 March 2010, the Australian Government introduced the new and improved Disability Employment Services, delivering more effective employment assistance for job seekers with disability.

Representing an investment of over $1.7 billion over the next three years, Disability Employment Services are a significant improvement in services for people with disability, their families and carers and employers.  Job seekers with disability will have immediate access to tailored services that are flexible and responsive to both their needs and those of employers.
