What we do

At Vision Australia, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to find meaningful work.

Our specialised employment services are designed to support people who are blind or have low vision to pursue their chosen careers and thrive at work.

Whether you are looking for your first job, your dream job or strategies to help you succeed in your current job, Vision Australia is here to help.

We are proud to announce that our organisation has been selected to deliver the Australian Government’s new disability employment program, Inclusive Employment Australia, in Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales. This program replaced the Disability Employment Services (DES) program, from 1 November 2025.

Finding a job

Looking for a new job? Vision Australia’s employment team is here to support everyone from students to industry leaders find the perfect role for their skills and interests. We can help you with:

  • job search support
  • writing resumes and cover letters
  • preparing for interviews
  • training to independently navigate the workplace

We’ll help you find a job that not only suits your skills, but your lifestyle and career aspirations too.


Keeping a job

If you’re feeling concerned about what your vision loss could mean for your future career, then have a chat to Vision Australia’s employment team. Our experts can support you with:

  • workplace adjustments, including accessible tools and technology
  • coaching and mentoring to help you address your unique situation
  • advice for communicating your needs with your employer.

Vision loss should never equal job loss. Vision Australia is here to help you access the support you need to maintain employment.

Success stories

Christopher Sims is a call centre associate at Dun & Bradstreet. Christopher has been blind since birth, and reached out for assistance from Vision Australia when seeking employment.

“Vision Australia has supported me in two areas while obtaining employment,” he says.

“Firstly, that of providing customised scripts to allow correct interpretation of our software screens by my screen reading software, and secondly, through the application and interview process.

“I enjoy what I do, and really like my job.”
