Phoenix Society provides employment opportunities
for people with disabilities who are receiving, or are eligible
to receive, a Disability Service Pension. Abilities and learning
potential differ widely between individuals. But no matter how severe
the disability of a person, there is always potential for success.
Whilst Phoenix prides itself on operating good
commercial operations and sophisticated training programs, ably
supported by good Public Relations and Fundraising programs, it
never loses sight of its main purpose, which is to develop the
skills of people.
By a combination of all of the above, Phoenix
is able to introduce employees with disabilities into work situations.
Many come with low initial skills, but, through our programs and
specialised training, we are able to provide opportunities, allowing
them to develop as individuals.
Our programs seek to improve confidence and
help individuals realise that they have genuine abilities of value
to others as well as themselves.
The cost of the specialised training needed
can be very high, but the outcomes are priceless. To achieve these
results, requires ongoing financial support from Government, business
in particular and the community at large.
The assistance of parents, guardians and friends
is vital during the training programs to encourage individuals
participating in what can be a difficult and lengthy process.
We are proud of the development that we help
people to achieve. We are proud of the skills that we are able
to impart. We are proud to be an organisation whose overriding
purpose is skills development and provision of opportunities.
Phoenix Society offers a diverse range of
employment opportunities at four different facilities, each of
which offers different types of work opportunities.
