Making Ways

Supports Businesses with Inclusive / Disability Employment

 

At Making Ways, we don’t just support individuals — we partner with businesses to create inclusive, welcoming workplaces where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.

We know many employers want to do the right thing but aren’t sure where to start. That’s where we come in.

​

What We Offer to Employers

​

1. Disability Awareness & Inclusive Practice Training

We deliver practical, down-to-earth workshops that help your team:

  • Understand disability and mental health in the workplace

  • Explore inclusive hiring practices

  • Learn how to support staff with lived experience

  • Build confidence around language, adjustments, and access

 

“I wanted to hire inclusively — I just didn’t know what I could ask or how to be supportive. This training was a game-changer.” — Employer, Port Macquarie

​

2. Workplace Readiness & Support Plans

We work with both the business and the employee to create a Workplace Wellness & Support Plan tailored to:

  • Role expectations

  • Communication needs

  • Mental health triggers and supports

  • Adjustment strategies

This sets everyone up for success — with clarity and compassion.

 

3. Ongoing Coaching & Mediation

We provide on-call coaching and support to help:

  • Check in with new hires

  • Problem-solve early concerns

  • Keep communication open between staff and managers

You’re not in it alone — we walk with you.

 

4. Recruitment Partnerships

  • Pre-screened

  • Supported with coaching and preparation

  • Matched to your business values and needs

 

We Help You With:

  • Understanding legal obligations vs. good practice

  • Making simple, low-cost workplace adjustments

  • Navigating NDIS, DES, and support coordination

  • Building a reputation as an inclusive employer
