Support for a Disability
Council has a number of employees who identify as having a disability who meaningfully contribute to what we achieve for the Sunshine Coast Region.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive culture, we provide support for people with a disability by:
• Providing special arrangements to participate in job interviews.
• Supporting reasonable adjustments for new and existing employees.
• Supporting flexible work arrangements, including flexible ways of working.
If you have a disability that requires adjustment for the interview process, you will have the opportunity to specify the assistance required on the online application form.
You can also have a chat to the Recruitment Team on (07) 5441 8682 or joinusnow@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.
