Wage Subsidy for Employers
Hiring the right person for your business is an important investment. Through the Inclusive Employment Australia program, Ideal Placements can help you access a wage subsidy of up to $10,000 when you employ an eligible job seeker living with disability, injury, or a health condition.
This subsidy is designed to support sustainable, long-term employment. It recognises the additional time and resources that may be needed to bring new staff on board, and gives your business the confidence to provide meaningful opportunities.
“IDEAL Placements are heavily focused on meeting the needs of individuals and supporting clients to obtain purposeful employment. Inclusivity is at the core of all they do and we value their dedication to remain abreast of industry advancements and employment opportunities across the region.”
