Employment support
Whether you're looking to be an employee or self-employed, a wide variety of options exists for people with disabilities.
For example, the Mainstream Employment Programme is an initiative that supports disabled people to find work in the State sector, while Workbridge provides a professional employment service for people with all types of disability.
There is also a number of supported employment providers in every region in New Zealand. These supported employment providers are generally members of ASENZ and are committed to following the ASENZ principles of service delivery.
