The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

This ADCET webinar, in collaboration with the NDCO program, will aim to demystify how the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF) works.

ADCET recognises that tertiary education providers can be one of many great avenues for employment for graduates with disability and can play a leading role in employing people with disability more broadly.

The webinar will focus on what University and VET staff such as Graduate Career Professionals, Human Resource Advisors, Facility Managers, and Work Health Safety Managers can do to improve their awareness of services, supports and funding available to ensure current staff are supported. It will cover the supports that are available, workplace adjustments, how to access the funding, who controls the equipment provided, and how JobAccess can help promote job opportunities to recruit people with disability.

Topics to be covered:

  • What supports are available to Universities & Vocational Education and Training providers through JobAccess.
  • Supporting current staff to reach their full potential in the workplace by providing workplace adjustments.
  • How to access funding for workplace adjustments and the EAF application process.
  • What happens with the equipment obtained through EAF – organisation owns/individual owns.
  • How JobAccess can help recruit people with disability.
  • Frequently asked questions on EAF from employers.

Audience: VET and Higher Education tertiary sector staff, Graduate Career Professionals, Human Resource Advisors, Facility Managers, and Work Health Safety Managers.
