Disability Employment Expos
The Disability Employment Expos will run for 12 months over 2023–24 to 2024–25. The program was announced as part of the Government’s 2023–24 Budget.
The Disability Employment Expos will provide people with disability with high support needs, and their families and carers, with information on a range of employment pathways and available supports. The grant opportunity is open to a single provider or consortium who can deliver up to 8 expos nationally, including one virtual expo.
