My husband has been employed at Phoenix Society in Adelaide for over 20 years. Prior to Phoenix he was in and out of work due to his disability. Phoenix has given him a purpose in life, friends and an opportunity to contribute to society. He is proud of the work he does and given his current health, he is at work inconsitently but that is not an issue, Phoenix are happy for him to get to work when he can.
In the open work force this would not be tolerated. He would constantly be in and out of work.
