This project is to support/enable the reform of Employment Services for people with disability. The New Specialist Disability Employment Program, now referred to as Inclusive Employment Australia, will be underpinned by an uplift and modernisation of the ICT system, to streamline and digitise administrative processes to support an improved user experience. The technology solution will ensure future services and policy settings are supported by a fit-for-purpose, tailored digital platform that meets the needs of all job seekers, providers and employers. This includes providing more intuitive, accessible and secure interfaces for service providers who enable individualised and flexible support for job seekers. The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) and Services Australia are the delivery leads and are building or enhancing the associated ICT. The majority of the ICT costs are for DEWR and Services Australia.
