Disability Employment Consultations
Department of Social Services (DSS) – Reforming Disability Employment Services
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is interested in reforming disability employment services to improve supports for people with disability to find and keep a job.
DSS is also looking for ways to better support employers that hire people with disability.
The reform process is due to complete in 2022 with the view to implement the new model in early 2023.
DSS has contracted PriceWaterhouseCoopers, an independent consulting group, to consult with people with disability and their carers, support workers, as well as employers and employment service providers.
- Your participation will help with understanding what makes a good and bad experience.
New Disability Employment Service System
DSS will use the results of the consultations sessions to inform the design of a new disability employment service system.
People with disabilities can be involved by having conversations with PwC (consultations) and by recording and answering questions about activities linked to looking for and keeping a job (ethnography).
- You will receive a $100 gift card for your time and insights for consultations.
- Participants recruited for Ethnography research will receive another $100 gift card.
