Parents and carers

We help people prepare for work and find sustainable employment jobs through government-funded programs such as Disability Employment Services (DES), Workforce Australia and Workforce Australia – Transition to Work TtW. 

Disability Employment Services for job seekers

Do you have a family member or someone you care for who is struggling to overcome employment barriers? If they are living with disability, injury or health conditions they may be eligible for support through Disability Employment Services (DES).

CoAct can help them:

• get ready to work
• train in specific job skills
• write their resume
• train for interviews
• look for jobs that suit their needs.

Support for employees struggling to fulfil their job role

If your family member is already employed but is having difficulty fulfilling their role due to injury, disability or health condition (including anxiety and depression) we can offer tailored support to help them maintain employment through Work Assist.

Refer your family member to CoAct and we’ll help them to overcome employment barriers.
