Right to Work has an established network of over 20 local employers who are keen to support workplace inclusion for young people with disability. These include Goulburn Mulwaree Council, local business and community organisations.

We recognise that everyone requires different supports in the workplace. Your Learning Assistant will provide you with one-on-one support, and you can use your support hours flexibly so that you have support when you need it and work more independently as your skills and confidence grow.

You may choose one block of 40 hours or multiple blocks of hours.

Participants must have completed or be enrolled in the Learning for Work or Getting Ready to Work programs to access Supported Work Placements.
