On 20 May 2009, the Minister for Employment Participation, the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP, announced the release of the Exposure Draft for the new Disability Employment Services and Employer Incentives Scheme 2010-2012 Purchasing Arrangements.

In the new model, existing caps on services will be removed and all job seekers with disability will have access to individually tailored employment services, while employers will have access to greater support.

The new services will give job seekers and their families greater certainty and allow providers to work with schools, hospitals and allied heath organisations to place job seekers into work. 

The Exposure Draft, the New Disability Employment Services and all information regarding the purchasing arrangements can be viewed on the Workplace website.
