This research report explores options for the use of the Workplace Modifications Scheme [WMS] to assist the employment of people with mental illness. Suggestions are made on how best to promote the Scheme to employers, job seekers, employees and employment service providers to assist in the employment of people with mental illness. The accommodation of employees with mental illness requires workplace adjustments that are different to those currently funded through the WMS. The research suggests there is a lack of confidence among employers regarding the employment of people with mental illness, due to a lack of understanding of mental illness. There is also concern about the impact the illness may have on the person’s ability to work, possible legal obligations regarding discrimination, and a lack of awareness of available supports.
A review of international literature and practice in the area of workplace adjustments has identified several ways a workplace can accommodate an employee with mental illness including: the provision of mentoring; higher levels of support; flexible work hours; training of supervising staff and co-workers; and changes to the physical environment. Several suggestions are provided as to how this assistance to employees with mental illness in the workplace can be provided. The research clearly demonstrates a need for the promotion of the WMS, through JobAccess, to employers, employment service providers, organisations assisting people with mental illness and individuals with mental illness.

This paper contains preliminary findings from the 2010 [Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations] DEEWR Survey of Employers supplemented by qualitative data from an online discussion forum in May 2011 with 40 employers covering topics such as recruiting people with disability, experiences of [Disability Employment Services] DES, and financial incentives, particularly wage subsidy schemes. The survey revealed a generally favourable attitude towards employing people with disability and a perception among employers that most people with disability have a strong work ethic. Forum discussions underscored these points, while emphasising the critical importance of job fit.

Apprenticeship non-completions are a major concern for the Australian business community and are a significant drain on the national training effort. Increasing completion rates will lead to better return on investment in training for employers and governments and increase the skills level of the Australian workforce. The research reported here presents an evidence-based, logical, rigorous, systematic and thorough approach to retaining apprentices for all employers. This approach provides employers with recommended principles to follow and processes to implement as part of a holistic workplace management strategy through the recruitment and employment of an apprentice. The key findings of the research are structured around the following core concepts for retention as identified in the research: attracting the right person; recruiting and inducting good apprentices; making work and training meaningful; providing personal and professional support; providing effective training; and making full use of information and support services. It focuses on employer perspectives to determine views, actions and attitudes of employers that have a positive impact on completion rates of apprenticeships, and is aimed at ensuring that the Australian business community has access to a highly skilled and motivated workforce.
