就业

There are several employment options and services that can help people with disabilities to find paid work or to return to work.  You can contact your local disability support organisation, your local Work and Income office, or a disability employment service provider. 

See below for help information on how to find work and financial assistance while you’re looking for work as well as information for employers about resources and support available for employers when hiring disabled people or getting an employee back to work after an injury.

Employing disabled people or getting employees back to work after an injury can be daunting for many employers. 

If you want to become a disability confident employer, but need more information about how to go about it, the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) Disability Confident campaign is a good place to start.
