Our Current Projects

We are involved in a diverse range of projects to amplify the voices of people living with disability.

Tourism Local Navigator Pilot Project

An outcome of the Jobs and Skills Summit in September 2022, the Disability Employment Tourism Local Navigators Pilot will test new ways to provide employers with information and resources about employing people living with disability, as well as connect job seekers with disability to meaningful tourism jobs. Our aim is to support small and medium tourism businesses in recruiting, retaining and promoting employees living with disability.

Support Worker Quality and Community of Practice

We tackle issues raised by people who receive paid support and issues experienced by support workers. We do this through workshops and hosting a community of practice for support workers.
