Why Supported Hosted Employment Works for Businesses

More workplaces are realising that meaningful inclusion doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with genuine roles, tangible contribution and the right support.

SHE is a practical pathway that brings this vision to life.

It connects people with disability to roles in everyday businesses, where they can grow, contribute and belong – backed by a structured support system from day one.

What makes this model so effective is its focus on capability, inclusion and connection. It’s not about ticking a box for inclusion; it’s about building a more rounded and purpose-driven culture.

With experienced support staff guiding each placement, both the employee and the host business are set up for success. You’re never left to figure it out alone.

Employers who embrace the SHE model often describe powerful ripple effects:

  • A stronger, more values-aligned team culture
  • Boosted morale and renewed energy across the workforce
  • A clearer sense of purpose in the business

SHE is about creating shared values: providing employment pathways for people with disability while helping businesses lead with purpose and impact.
