We’re excited about our partnership with Intelife WA to develop and deliver the Work First Certified Employer program. This program delivers organisational change inside employer organisations by working with them to change internal systems and provide employment opportunities for people with disability. Not just a job, but careers and meaningful employment.  Work First addresses both the supply and demand sides of the equation using global benchmarking evidence and practice to support real change and employment pathways.
