Wage Incentives
In some situations, we can offer financial incentives to employers of eligible job seekers.

Your Mission Australia consultant will be able to inform you if you are eligible for this assistance.

We can assist you with workplace tools and equipment (that are not already covered by you as a standard condition of employment). This will help your new employee perform their role with confidence.

We can also provide additional assistance to help your new employee settle into their job:
