Australian Disability Enterprises

Australian Disability Enterprises are commercial businesses that provide employment for people with disability. Previously called Business Services, the Australian Disability Enterprises name, logo and an Australian Disability Enterprise Business Directory were launched on 28 November 2008 at an Australian Disability Enterprise in Melbourne. The new name brings together all Australian Disability Enterprises under a unified national brand.

These businesses include Recycling Depots at Goolwa and Mt Barker; In Stitches, where we make a number of sewn products; car cleaning; grounds Maintenance, Document Destruction and accredited Firewood sales.

There are 355 Australian Disability Enterprise outlets across Australia, providing supported employment assistance to approximately 20,000 people with moderate to severe disability who need substantial ongoing support to maintain their employment.
