disability. Research shows economic participation drives further independence in individuals’ lives, promoting
higher quality of life and enabling their full potential.
The support to the Disability Employment Services sector is welcomed. The Centre will be pivotal in supporting the
future professionalism, benchmarking of services and the ability for the sector to learn from research and findings,
driving higher service delivery across the industry. Further to this, The Centre will provide an independent body to
support best proactive and advocacy through an equal access approach connecting all relevant stakeholders.
Collective co-design initiatives can be explored, and true placed based strategies will be delivered through the
access and support of the Centre.
Interact recognises the various complexities for consumers – employers and participants, to navigate the various
programs available and support access. With the increased sharing of knowledge about best practice, this will lead
to positive improved outcomes for people with a disability.
