Disability Employment Services (DES)

Disability Employment Services (DES)

Disability Employment Services (DES) can help you find and keep a job if you have a disability, illness or injury, including anxiety or depression.

People living with disability may be eligible for one of two different DES programs depending on their disability:

  • DES – Employment Support Services is for people who have a permanent disability, illness or injury. It gives you long-term, regular ongoing support to find and keep a job.
