As well as understanding no disability is the same, at APM, we also know every person is different.
Which is why we make sure 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 physical disability, injury, or health condition, and want to explore tailored support to achieve your goals, get in touch on 1800 276 276 or register with APM to start your journey.
