We are pleased to announce that Social Futures has been selected to deliver the Inclusive Employment Australia program across three regional areas in New South Wales. This new program marks a significant step forward in creating more inclusive employment opportunities for people with disability and long-term illnesses.
Starting in November 2025, Social Futures will implement this transformative program in the Coffs Harbour, Orana, and Patterson regions. The selection recognises Social Futures’ commitment to helping people create positive changes in their lives while building truly connected communities.
The Inclusive Employment Australia program represents a major shift in how Australia supports people with disability in finding and maintaining meaningful employment. This specialist program focuses on delivering customised and flexible supports to both participants and employers, moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches.
Unlike traditional employment services, this program places participants and employers at the centre of service design. The goal is simple yet powerful: help more people with disability, injury, or health conditions find sustainable employment while supporting employers to implement inclusive practices.
Social Futures’ selection as an Inclusive Employment Australia provider reflects the organisation’s proven track record in disability support and community building. The program emphasises the importance of providers with diverse leadership and staff who reflect their communities’ diversity, coupled with specialised training in disability support and awareness.
This approach ensures participants receive culturally appropriate support while building meaningful relationships with both job seekers and employers. By working closely with local businesses, the program creates lasting change in workplace attitudes and practices.
For people with disability in the Coffs Harbour, Orana, and Patterson regions, this announcement signals new hope and opportunity. Social Futures’ commitment to inclusive employment practices, combined with the program’s innovative approach, paves the way for more accessible and sustainable employment pathways.
