Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders employment services
CoAct helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander job seekers find and keep meaningful employment
For over a decade, we’ve partnered with local Indigenous organisations across Australia to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people find sustainable employment by providing:
- A friendly, local team that takes the time to get to know the unique needs, goals, skills, and experience of each person they work with.
- A personalised job plan and the right mentoring, training, and wrap-around support services to help put it into action.
- Job search guidance and help with an effective resume, tailored cover letters, and interviews.
- Access to Campus, CoAct’s online customer portal packed with job search tools and resources.
- Assistance to access funding that can help prepare people with disability to get “job-ready” and start work with workwear, transport, tools, equipment, and updated skills and the confidence that comes with them.
- Ongoing support after employment.
