"Great content, non aggressive delivery on such a delicate subject."

"Really well structured and great information on elements that I would not think of, especially in regards to how and when we contact our job seekers and employers."

"A good reminder of previous learnings that I may not utilise often enough. Presenter was so engaging and relatable."

"This was probably the most informative and understandable training session I have attended on the topic of AOD and substance abuse. Clearly and well articulated."

NESA has now supported the Australian Employment Services Sector in our shared vision of opportunity for all through employment and inclusion for over 22 years.

We our proud to be associated with our Members, whose work has been constant throughout these 22 years of change, supporting the most disadvantaged Australian job seekers – including mature aged, youth, people with disability, Indigenous Australians, single parents, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and recent migrants and refugees whether they are in urban, rural, regional or remote Australia. It is work that demands care, empathy, skill, resilience, innovation and vision.
