About the program
Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) is a national employment program designed to create a more inclusive and accessible labour market for people with disability, injury, or health conditions. IEA replaces the Disability Employment Services (DES) program and represents a major reform aimed at delivering more flexible, person-centred, and long-term employment support.
The purpose of IEA is to ensure that people with disability—regardless of income support status or assessed work capacity—can access the support they need to prepare for, find, and maintain meaningful work and build sustainable careers. The program places participants at the centre of service delivery, offering tailored support based on individual needs, including both intensive and flexible options, without arbitrary time limits.
Jesuit Social Services is delivering a specialist IEA program for ex-offenders and participants who have intersected with the justice system.
IEA seeks to improve employment outcomes through inclusive practices, simplified access, and a stronger focus on long-term job retention.
At its core, IEA is committed to breaking down barriers to employment, promoting equity in the workforce, and creating lasting opportunities for people with disability to participate fully in the economy and society.
