Finding A Job With Support
22 December 2025
Across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, our teams have been welcoming participants, collaborating with employers, and shaping personalised employment pathways that reflect the heart of Inclusive Employment Australia at Help:
This month marked an important milestone for Help’s Inclusive Employment Australia, with the official opening of our Hurstville office – a moment that reflects the collective progress across our 25+ offices nationwide. We were proud to celebrate the opening alongside Hon Tanya Plibersek MP, and International Day of People with Disability Ambassador Ronan Soussa.
The celebration also brought together IntoWork Australia CEO Poul Bottern, Help CEO Steve Wyborn, Interact Australia CEO Jamie Barden, and inclusive employer, Chardi from Dougie’s Grill.
This milestone marked more than the opening of a new space – it highlighted the strength of our partnerships and our shared belief in the opportunities we can create together.
As CEO Steve Wyborn shared:
“We are thrilled to be making a real difference in the lives of people with disability and their families. Our new Inclusive Employment Australia offices strengthen Help’s existing social enterprise footprint, and reflect a community that truly values inclusion and diversity.
We look forward to working with like-minded businesses and organisations to open doors and create safe, inclusive workplace opportunities. Together with the people we serve, we’ll enable people with disability to contribute, connect and build vibrant futures across our regions.”
Each of our offices has spent the first month building relationships, creating welcoming environments, and supporting participants to explore their employment goals. While every office has made its own meaningful progress, a few teams shared moments from their first month:
New signage marked a meaningful moment at Corio – not just the launch of the new Inclusive Employment Australia office, but the opening of new opportunities for the local community.
Regional Manager Vikas and Employment Coach Sylvia have already begun welcoming participants for conversations about employment pathways, goals, and inclusive support.
The Inclusive Employment Australia team at Newcomb has shown incredible focus and participant-centred support from day one. Their commitment to listening deeply and creating a calm, welcoming environment has already made an impact.
Despite Melbourne’s classic “four seasons in one day” (as seen in the windswept photo!), the Inclusive Employment Australia team at Waurn Ponds is already buzzing with energy and ready to make their mark heading into the future.
A few weeks ago, the Inclusive Employment Australia office in Gympie was little more than a blank canvas. Now, it’s a warm and welcoming space where participants can explore their goals, learn new skills, and access the support they need to find work.
Graeme, Simon and Jarrod shared photos celebrating how far the space – and the team – has come. Their efforts reflect the spirit of their work: purpose, inclusion, and genuine community connection.
Our Miller site is bustling with activity, with Employment Coach Sherry and the team welcoming Inclusive Employment Australia participants, building connections, and creating a space that feels warm, active, and ready for growth.
Employment Coach Kate and the Inclusive Employment Australia team at the Miranda office is already off to a strong start, supporting participants and building relationships with local employers.
Employment Coach Omar was busy not only engaging with participants but also helping to bring the new Inclusive Employment Australia office in Hurstville to life.
The first month of Inclusive Employment Australia has already shown what’s possible when people, employers, and community partners come together.
As our National Program Manager, Mariella Cuttonaro, says:
“This period has shown the strength, passion and commitment of our teams across every region. From brand-new offices finding their rhythm, to teams already supporting participants and employers, the momentum is real.
What I’m most proud of is how our teams have embraced the heart of Inclusive Employment Australia – meeting people where they’re at, listening deeply, and building pathways that reflect each person’s goals. We’re just at the beginning, but the foundations being laid now will shape meaningful, long-term outcomes for people across our communities.”
