Development of the Centre for Inclusive Employment
About the Centre
The Centre for Inclusive Employment (the Centre), previously named the Disability Employment Centre of Excellence, provides best-practice, evidence-based information for employment service providers assisting job seekers with disability.

The submissions received highlighted the need for the Centre to:
- increase employment outcomes for people with disability
- provide training and resources to disability employment service providers and employers
