Disability Employment Network

The Disability Employment Network (DEN) supports the employment of people with a disability in the open labour market.

Hume Employment Service Limited (HESL) DEN staff work with job seekers whose disability is permanent (or likely to be permanent) and where it substantially affects their capacity to communicate, learn or move around.

We offer a range of free services to job seekers and employees which are individually tailored to meet individual needs. These services include:

• Help preparing for work, such as training in specific job skills

• Job search support such as resume development, interview skills training and help looking for suitable jobs

• Support when placed into a job, including on-the-job training and support for co-workers and employers

• Ongoing support in a job when needed

• Vocational training and other types of assistance, and

• Access to employer incentives, such as workplace modifications assistance and wage subsidies.

HESL offers DEN services to clients in the Ovens, Hume and Kiewa Employment Service Areas (see our location maps for area details). These services are delivered from our Benalla, Myrtleford, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Yarrawonga, Echuca and Albury offices.

Our friendly and professional staff will ensure that your personal information is treated confidentially, and we deliver these services in accordance with the DEN Service Guarantee and the Employment Services Code of Practice. For more information about the DEN Program please contact us.
