Workplace modifications
When you hire an eligible employee with disability, injury or a health condition, support may be available to help create a safe, accessible and productive workplace.
Creating an inclusive workplace
Most employees with disability do not need workplace adjustments to do their job.
When changes are needed, they are often simple, practical and may be supported through available funding programs.
Our team can help you understand what adjustments may benefit your employee and your workplace.
What are workplace modifications?
Workplace modifications are changes to a workplace, equipment or work practices that help an employee perform their role safely and effectively.
They can be physical changes, specialised equipment, technology solutions or adjustments to the way work is completed.
Every workplace and employee is different, so the right solution will depend on the role and the individual's needs.
