“We also work with employers to ensure they have a disability-friendly environment.”

 

Ms Thompson said Community Solutions’ support extended beyond people with physical disabilities “We’ve got customers who have mental health (issues) such as anxiety and depression,” she said.

“There’s also people who have lost limbs, bipolar … we’ve got a whole array of disabilities under our contract so it’s about having a tailored approach because what suits one customer won’t suit the other.”
