The Australian Disability Enterprises Excellence Award recognises, encourages and promotes the significant contribution that Disability Enterprises make in improving the lives of people with disability. The Award also provides an opportunity to recognise the dual focus of Disability Enterprises as being viable businesses providing high quality employment to people with disability.
If you know of a Disability Enterprise that has made a significant contribution in ensuring that people with disability are encouraged to participate to their full potential in employment, tell us about it by nominating them for the Australian Disability Enterprises Excellence Award 2011.
This year the Award will be presented to the winner and two runner-ups at the National Disability Services Employment Forum to be held on 5 September 2011 at the Hilton Hotel, Sydney.
Nominations open Monday 20 June 2011 and close 5pm Friday 5 August 2011.
The Australian Disability Enterprises Excellence Award is for Disability Enterprises demonstrating new and innovative practices supportive of the development of high quality and sustainable employment, whilst providing premium employment conditions to their employees with disability.
The Award will acknowledge an organisation that provides best practice and innovative training opportunities, achieves strong wage outcomes, provides safe working conditions, social inclusion and participation for the employees and quality of service to people with disability.
