The new Disability Employment Services (DES) performance scorecards have been released! These scorecards are designed to improve the transparency and accountability of employment service providers, ensuring that people with disability have access to high-quality support. https://lnkd.in/gtmHpAqq The new framework assesses providers on three key performance indicators: 🔑 Quality 💪 Effectiveness ⚡ Efficiency The results are clear that over 90% of providers are meeting or exceeding expectations which is a huge win for both employment service providers and participants! As Minister Amanda Rishworth said, "The scorecards give providers, employers and participants as well as the general public a very clear picture of what is expected of providers and how they are stacking up." We congratulate all the providers who are delivering excellent service to people with disability and we look forward to seeing these scorecards evolve over time.

📣This International Day of People with Disability, we acknowledge the theme "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future." Today, we celebrate the incredible partnerships between Disability Employment Service (DES) providers and employers, working together to build inclusive workplaces where people with disability thrive. While the unemployment rate for people with disability has improved, at 7.3%, (down from 10.3% in 2018) it remains too high – more than double the rate for people without disability (3.1%). DES providers and employers are working together to embrace the unique perspectives and diversity that comes from hiring people with disability. It’s not just about creating jobs, it’s about creating meaningful and sustainable employment that benefits both the individual and the organisation. #IDPwD2024 #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityEmployment Disability Employment Australia
