Employment services

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.

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