Business Solutions
At The Bridge Inc, we believe that meaningful employment should be accessible to everyone. Through our supported employment services in Melbourne, we’re proud to offer opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in rewarding work that builds skills, confidence, and community connection. Our goal is simple, to provide an inclusive, purposeful work environment where individuals can thrive and businesses can benefit.
Our Melbourne disability employment support services help match people with disabilities and those facing disadvantage with the right employment opportunities. We do this through personalised support, dedicated training, and partnerships with local businesses, manufacturers, and organisations who value inclusive employment practices.
Warehouse Services Through Supported Employment
One of the cornerstones of our supported employment offering are our warehousing and manufacturing facilities in Dandenong and Thomastown, where we run a thriving social enterprise that delivers professional, reliable services to Melbourne businesses, all while creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Jobs available include:
- Labelling
- Pick and Pack
- Logistics Support
- Production
- Storage
- Administration
- Light Assembly (auto, mechanical, and hardware goods)
- Product Packaging
- Mobile Cleaning Crews (end of lease, site clearance and vehicle cleaning)
- Mobile Gardening Crew (including green waste removal)
Training and programs on offer:
We also offer ongoing specialised training to gain new workplace skills. But it’s not all work! The team has lots of fun developing social skills and forming close friendships.
Training and programs include;
- Manual Handling
- OHS
- Production Line Training
- Production Quality Control
- 5S (Workplace Organisation)
- Positive Communication
- Work Experience
- Social Committee
Our facilities offer a supportive, structured environment where team members can work, grow, and gain valuable experience across a variety of tasks. These services are ideal for individuals who may need ongoing workplace support and are looking for an inclusive team culture where their contributions are truly valued. For some clients, supported employment is a stepping stone into open employment when they are ready through DES or mainstream job support options, especially for those who are able to work independently with minimal support.
Tailored Disability Employment Support in Melbourne
At the heart of all our employment services is a commitment to our clients. The Bridge Employment works closely with people with disabilities and those experiencing disadvantage to identify their strengths, develop their skills, and match them to jobs that suit their interests and abilities. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we offer:
- Personalised employment plans
- Skills development and training
- Ongoing on-the-job coaching
- Support with transport and transition to work
- Assistance with goal setting and career planning
For individuals looking to build confidence alongside supported employment, we also offer a Your Supports program that helps develop independence and social inclusion and can tie in perfectly with job opportunities and support!
