Most outlets assist people with a range of disabilities; however there are outlets that specialise in assisting specific disability types, for example people with vision impairments and people with intellectual disabilities.

The DES providers enters into a contract with the Government to "case manage" a certain number of people with a disability by providing the following services:

• assessment of job seekers skills and abilities to focus on suitable, sustainable employment;
• training and work experience to increase their job readiness;
• identify work place modifications that may be required for the job seeker to perform the tasks required;
• provide assistance with job seeking and on the job support if required;
• offer information on incentives, subsidies and supported wage available for the employer;
• on site training for employers and co-workers.

Disability Employment Service Providers provide a large pool of available workers for you to chose from. Over 25,000 people with a disability are successful in gaining employment with their assistance each year.
