Who we support
Everyone's employment journey is different. At APM, we recognise people face different barriers, challenges and opportunities based on their background, experiences or stage of life.
That's why our Inclusive Employment Australia team offers personalised support for a wide range of communities and priority groups.
Tailored support for your journey
Whether you're leaving school, returning to work, building confidence, changing careers or looking for an employer who values diversity, we're here to help.
We'll work with you to understand your goals and connect you with the support, training and opportunities that suit your needs.
No matter your background, abilities or life experience, our employment consultants take the time to understand what matters to you.
We focus on your strengths, skills and goals, helping you build confidence and find employment opportunities that are right for you.

Mature workers
Whether you're returning to work, changing industries or looking for a new opportunity later in life, we'll help you identify suitable employment options and showcase your strengths to employers.
First Nations peoples
We work alongside First Nations peoples to provide culturally respectful employment support that recognises community, culture and individual strengths.
