    Disability Self Help Grants


    We have been successful in receiving a small grant from Department of Human Services (DHS) to assist us with newsletter production, on developmental work on our website, on developing disability friendly print formats and obtaining interpreters for hearing impaired.

    Having tried to get help from outside organizations without any funds we have fallen back on our own resources. The expertise of our new committee members we hope will have us online soon.


    Social Enterprise Grant - June 2007


    ADDE has received funding from DVC (Department of Victorian Communities) under their "Social Enterprise Program" to develop a business plan. We are looking at ways to undertake this process in a participatory way and to also develop skills and training for people from our disability and diversity target groups who are unemployed or under employed, who can take the business plan forward into the future. Will keep you posted as thinking and ideas translate more into reality.

    Australian Ethical Investment Ltd

    Our mission is to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds in Australia. For those of you who are not aware we were officially formed on September 7, 2005 at Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS).

    ADDE promotes pro-active employment policies and practices for disadvantaged groups including people with disabilities, mature age workers, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as well as indigenous people. People who fall into more than one of these categories are recognised as being even more disadvantaged. Therefore, we see a greater need for a change of attitude and awareness.
