Many disabilities are invisible.

Potential employees are assessed by the Outreach Centre for employment suitability, work preferences and skills. Outreach staff can explore possible wage subsidies available to offset costs during the training phase. Employer participates directly throughout the hiring and training process. Outreach staff can act as advocates and facilitators if necessary.
