History
Essential Personnel has several funding streams including the Federal Department of Social Services and the National Disability Insurance Agency. Essential Personnel prides itself on delivering exceptional service to each individual client and this is reflected in our performance results.
Essential Personnel was established in 1986 to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Our first office was established in the region of the Central Wheatbelt of Western Australia, in response to an identified gap in services to clients with disabilities in remote and regional areas.
Since 1997, we have secured over 1600 jobs for people with intellectual, learning, physical, sensory, psychiatric and neurological disabilities. These clients are individuals who have a diverse range of skills and abilities and Essential Personnel has assisted them to gain and maintain employment and training of their choice. Today we are the longest serving employment agency in the Central Wheatbelt area of Western Australia. We have built strong, lasting relationships with employers, community organisations and disability agencies to assist people with disabilities to realise their potential and achieve their dreams and aspirations in employment and life.
At present, our services have expanded to the Perth Metropolitan and Midlands/Wheatbelt districts. Our head office is located in Midland and we have offices in Northam, Cannington, Merredin, Moora and Armadale, delivering services in both Disability Employment and Lifestyle Services to over 700 individuals with disability.
