WISE Employment takes a progressive approach to supporting the most marginalised members of our community. Operating on a not-for-profit basis, our main purpose is to assist disadvantaged members of the community through a range of specialist employment and support services. We also reinvest our surplus revenue into programs and initiatives that support high needs people who are not currently serviced by existing programs – those who would otherwise ‘fall through the cracks’. With the right support, we believe that people can become more self reliant, improve their personal, social and economic circumstances and ultimately become self sufficient.
Our aim is to invest in programs and initiatives that focus on and directly support disadvantaged job seekers. In 2002, we convened a round table of community leaders who identified a range of highly disadvantaged profiles for priority attention. These included; youth, people with disabilities, Indigenous Australians, people in contact with the justice system, asylum seekers and the mature aged. Since 2000, we have committed 3.2 million of our annual surplus to community projects and initiatives that directly support these priority groups.
