Imagine a world where every ability is celebrated. The WorkAbility Expos are where employers and people with disability, including those with high needs, are connected.

WorkAbility Expos are funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, and designed to help people with disabilities find meaningful employment.

WorkAbility Expos are vibrant hubs designed to connect people with disabilities who want to work with employers. These events are not just job fairs; they are supportive environments where people with disability can make meaningful connections and find resources to help them succeed on their employment journey.

The welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to network and make friends, setting you up for success.
