Discussion Paper: Future of Supported Employment
The Australian Government announced a $57 million investment to support the sector of supported employment as part of the 2023–24 Budget. Six projects centred on supported employment are included in this investment.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) has created a discussion paper titled “Future of Supported Employment” that details the suggested strategy for each of the programmes and contains important questions for comment. An easy-to-read version and the complete discussion paper are attached.
The Department is interested in learning your opinions, whether they are specific to the topics or more general. By August 18, 2023, send any comments you may have to SEPolicy@dss.gov.au at the Department of Social Services. By sending an email, you can ask for an online meeting if you’d rather talk.
