Organisation Details

Brief description

Pinnacle provides day program activities, supported employment and respite options in and around Ararat and Stawell. Our disability enterprises provide a wide variety of work such as laundry and linen services, nursery and gift ware retail, garden maintenance, logo branding and embroidery, gift ware printing, club and sports uniforms and commercial contracts.

The contribution we make to the community

The Supported Employment Enterprises employ people with a disability. The income they receive provides a degree of financial independence, reducing the reliance on government subsidies.
Pinnacle is a significant jobs provider, employing 220 full-time, part-time and casual employees equating to 77 EFT, making us one of the largest non-government employers in the Stawell-Ararat region.
The enterprises also fill gaps in local business services providing greater purchasing choice for customers.

How supported employees and their families benefit

We assist people with a disability to increase their skills and self-esteem by providing opportunities for training, employment and community access/inclusion. The service provides life and leisure experiences. These acquired daily living skills and independence can be transferred to home settings increasing their contribution to the household running. Attending the programs provides an important preoccupation, decreasing the supervisory demands on families.
The Supported Employment Enterprises employ people with a disability who enjoy the same working conditions as those in the general workforce. The income received provides a degree of financial independence, reducing the reliance on family supports.
