Too often, people with disability are underestimated and are not expected to achieve highly in our society. Our EPIC teams in Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, Evans Head, Kyogle and Casino are helping raise the expectations for people with disability and mental illness, finding them jobs in their community and supporting them in that job until they no longer need us.
“My Employment Consultant is approachable, kind and helpful. She is responsive and doesn’t treat me like a number.” – Phillip
At EPIC we don’t just find jobs for people, we are committed to helping them keep a job. We are experts in disability employment services. We offer the Australian Government’s free Disability Employment Services (DES) program to support people with disability at all stages of their career journey.

- support you to create a great resume, prepare job applications, practise interview skills and attend job interviews
- connect you with like-minded employers who align with your career goals

Community support
We love to give back to our community. Our goal is to build strong communities that value and welcome people with disability and mental illness. We’ve achieved this by working with groups and organisations in the Northern Rivers area, which help create inclusive communities for people with disability. If you are a community group or organisation that would benefit from partnering with EPIC, send an email to hello@epicassist.org.
Our EPIC teams in the Northern Rivers area can help you find job-ready employees who will bring valuable new perspectives and a competitive advantage to your business.
