About BIZLINK

BIZLINK is a not-for-profit Incorporated Association we provide Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) services and are a Registered NDIS provider for Employment Supports. We work with people with all types of disabilities, barriers and backgrounds to prepare for, find and keep quality employment. The Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS) funds Inclusive Employment Australia.

BBIZLINK was established in 1992 to provide a specialist employment service for school leavers with a disability living in the northern suburbs of Perth. We expanded our service in 1994 to include job seekers with a range of disabilities and of diverse age groups. BIZLINK accepts referrals from Centrelink, self (direct), schools, health services, community organisations and other employment services.

Most job seekers will require an Employment Services Assessment (ESAt), or Job Capacity Assessment (JCA) and Services Australia (Centrelink) can assist with this. Job seekers can contact BIZLINK and ask to speak with an Engagement Coordinator for more information on eligibility and how to register.

BIZLINK works with clients to match jobs to their choice, skills and individual needs. We provide on or off-site training, support and advice to help clients keep their job. We provide job-support for as long as needed. If a client is not ready for a job, we can assist with building work-based skills and career counselling. If a client needs more specialist assistance because of their disability or other barrier to employment, we can provide supports or link them in with the right services to get work ready.

A Coordinator works with each client, and their support network, where involved, to develop an individualised Job Plan. Support is provided how and when needed. Depending on each client’s individual needs, BIZLINK support can include:

  • Resume preparation
  • Job applications
  • Learning about what employers expect, interview techniques, building confidence
  • Accessing training & courses agreed on the Job Plan
  • Building wellness & work readiness
  • Short-term work experience/job sampling/work trials
  • Transport training
  • On-the-job training & off-site support as required
  • Employer subsidies & incentives
  • Workplace modifications & equipment

BIZLINK is focused on selectively matching clients to fill the criteria of each job vacancy and providing on or off-site training, support and advice. BIZLINK continues to support clients as required, providing on or off-site assistance to meet the individual needs of the client and employer. BIZLINK aims to provide the best possible employment assistance and support. We work together with clients to achieve their employment goals.

To ensure we are meeting our client’s needs, our Charter and Value Statement reflects the beliefs and mission of the BIZLINK Team:
