The contribution we make to the ADE community
GDP industries works with the Department of Justice in Geelong by offering their clients a light industrial environment, working along side people with disability and at the same time fulfil their community service commitments. We also offer work experience to students who may wish to become part of GDP Industries or those wishing to enter into the disability field. We have been working with the Justice Department and the various schools in the Geelong Region for a number of years and our working relationship is very strong. Our service offers individuals through networking opportunities for meaningful participation and active inclusion in society.
