Interact Australia can help you access the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF) which gives financial help to eligible people with disability and mental health condition and employers to buy work related modifications and services.

The EAF is available to people with disability who are about to start a job or who are currently working, as well as people who need help to find and prepare for a job. It is also available to people with disability who are self-employed, and jobseekers who need Auslan assistance, or special work equipment to look for and prepare for a job.
