Creating inclusive employment and training opportunities for people of all abilities and backgrounds in the Mildura area.
In the Mallee region, only 20% of people with a disability are participating in the workforce compared with 70% of people without an impairment. The Christie Centre is addressing this gap by using our Social Enterprises to create inclusive work opportunities for people of all abilities in the Mildura region.
Being employed gives people a sense of purpose and belonging, improving mental health and wellbeing and reducing use of tertiary services.
