What we offer for supported employees

Our passion is to give people with disabilities the opportunity to grow and succeed. We enable supported employees to be actively included in the community through employment, skills development and service support outside of work.

Through our warehouse and well-known Good Sammys retail outlets we can provide supported employees with the opportunity to find fun and friendship whilst developing invaluable skills for life!

From small beginnings… employing one person with a disability in a small Op Shop in Perth we are now proud to employ over 240 people with disabilities in our Warehouse and in our 25 retail stores across the State of Western Australia. We are committed to providing quality sustainable employment, on the job training and support, career development opportunities and assistance with non-vocational needs to enable more people to participate in the mainstream of life and achieve what they want from their work.
