HOW WE DO THINGS
The Workspace Way.
A job is never just a job to us. This is what you can count on, every time you work with our team of Career Advisors.
IS IT FOR ME?
Am I eligible for Inclusive Employment Australia?
You may be eligible for Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) if you are looking for work and:
- live with a disability, injury or health condition
- aged 14 years or older and under Age Pension age
- an Australian resident or hold an eligible visa
- able to work less than 30 hours per week
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT?
Already with another provider?
You can change your Inclusive Employment Australia provider at any time, as many times as you like, no questions asked.
If you’re with another provider but feel you need something different, moving to Workspace by Echo is simple, and we’ll help you through it.
People often switch when they want more personalised support, stronger employer connections, or a team that really gets their goals. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help.
