We understand the diversity of disability

Neurological disabilities encompass a variety of conditions that affect the nervous system, often impacting movement, learning, and other aspects of daily life.

At APM we’ve supported thousands of people living with a neurological disability to thrive in fulfilling work with Disability Employment Services (DES).

Last year alone we supported 2,695 people with a neurological disability in DES.

This includes more than 900 people with epilepsy and 235 people with cerebral palsy.

At APM, we also know every person who registers for DES support is different.

That’s why we get to know and understand you when we start working with you.

We discuss your interests, the type of work you would like to do, and your employment goals.

Then we work together to help you achieve your goals and find the right job for you.

If you're living with a disability, injury, or health condition, and want to explore tailored support to achieve your goals, speak to us today.

Get in touch on 1800 276 276 or register with APM to start your journey.
