PWDA believes more work should be done by government, in partnership with business, to ensure people with disability have opportunities for sustainable employment in Australia. While the DES is an important mechanism to place and train people with disability, the message must go out to industry and business that all work places should accommodate people with disability. There should also be recognition by Government as well as by business and industry that specialist programs are not the only means available to facilitate employment for people with disability.
