The government is working on a new Disability Employment Support model. It will replace the existing Disability Employment Services (DES) program.
The consultation process for the new model has now opened.
There will be some big changes to DES starting in 2023 and this is our chance to have a say on what the new DES model should look like.
The consultation papers are below. More information is available here.
