Brief description

As a not-for-profit community organisation, Achieve Australia has provided services and support with integrity, commitment and passion since 1952 for people with a disability to achieve a life that is meaningful and valued. We do this by facilitating the learning and maintenance of life and work skills, the development of relationships, the ability to make life choices and participation in community activities.

The contribution we make to the community

Achieve Australia’s My Career services create opportunities for people with disability to learn, succeed, earn income and feel fulfilled through having a satisfying career and meaningful work.
Paid employment facilitates independence, self-respect and opportunities to become fully contributing members of the community. It also enables My Career customers, volunteers, and the community in general to learn how people with disability are contributing to business and society through their skills and productivity, and financial independence.

How supported employees and their families benefit

Achieve Australia’s My Career services benefit supported employees and their families by:
• Equipping people with skills, confidence and qualifications
• Helping to identify career and skill development options
• Providing training and work experience opportunities
• Offering travel training
• Providing guidance on writing an impressive resume
• Conducting training on successful recruitment interview techniques

My Career provides workers with the individual supports and services they require so they can focus on their skill development, roles in the workplace, and enjoyment of a productive team environment.
