Projects
- Jose Garcia, ADDE member, is currently heading the ADDE Social Enterprise project called 'Way Up', a gutter cleaning and home and garden maintenance business employing people with disability and from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds. The project is in its formative stage and Jose, with help from ADDE office staff, is currently putting together a feasibility plan. Jose is passionate about improving work prospects for marginalized members of our community and is working on this project in his own time.
- ADDE received funding from the Reichstein
Foundation, the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and ANZ
Trustees to research disability employment within
the Victorian disability services sector. This research
was motivated by the collective experience of people
with disabilities volunteering over long periods of
time within these organisations without it leading
to paid employment.
Soft and hard copies of the
final report are available.
If you wish to register you’re interest in receiving
a copy of the report please contact

- Research into disability employment in the disability
agency sector in Victoria.
- Development of media training resources. We are hoping to access some funding to develop a resource package which can sell the message that it makes good business and community sense to employ people with disabilities and from other disadvantaged groups. The message would be told by those organizations which can proudly tell what it has done for them. Also highlighting what to do and where to go to make it happen. If anyone has some good ideas or would like to support this concept please contact us.
