Employment for People with a Disability in the Northern Territory Public Service
The Northern Territory Government is committed to increasing the employment of people with disability across the public sector to a level that is proportional to their representation in the working age population of the Northern Territory .
Disability Works Australia has a contract with the NTPS for the provision of Specialised Recruitment Services for employment of people with disability into the Northern Territory Public Service and this agreement forms a key part of the Government's Willing and Able Strategy .
The strategy supplies a framework for the Northern Territory Public Sector to provide a working environment where people with a disability are recruited and retained on the basis of their abilities, and where barriers to workplace participation are identified and removed.
If you are a person with a disability, DWA staff will support you through the application process by liaising with NT Government Departmental contacts in regards to your individual application. Any supports or modifications you may require to succeed with your application will be communicated back to the NT Government .
Apart from receiving some vacancies directly from the Government Departments, DWA staff monitor the Northern Territory Government Employment Opportunities On line website for suitable vacancies.
People with disability are encouraged to view the site and should you identify a suitable position, please contact the DWA office in Darwin with the details. DWA staff will arrange to meet with you and support your application as appropriate.
