FYI peeps..
Subsidised wages for people with disability
Save
Employers may be able to get a wage subsidy when they hire someone through Disability Employment Services (DES).
Subsidies include:
Wage Subsidy Scheme – paying up to $1,650 for hiring a new employee
Restart wage subsidy – paying up to $10,000 for hiring someone aged 50 or over
Wage Start subsidy – paying up to $6,000 for taking on someone who has been with DES for at least 12 months.
just googled this and mention in email that they could get $10,000 lol
yes, had heard of it years ago, thought they got rid of it, well reduced it anyways..
Wage subsidies are usually paid for the first few months of employment. Employers can contact a DES provider to apply.

@Glisten yes. It's a year since I had to put my dog down, but she wasn't just a pet she was my assistance dog and meant everything to me. She was only 3 years old.
Thankyou ❤️

@TAB you are the most well organised, intelligent, educated person I know.
You keep going like the EverReady Bunny.
Sleeping 2 hourly sessions sucks and blows at the same time. It doesn’t seem to affect your brain 🧠 the way sleep deprivation affects mine.
My dyslexia is shocking today.

@Gibbs The older we get the more protein we need to maintain muscle.
Post-workout supplements, particularly those containing protein and amino acids, can aid in muscle repair and growth. Fast-digesting protein powders, like whey, provide the body with immediate access to the amino acids needed for recovery.

@Dreamy Dogs aren’t pets. They’re people. You can’t replace people.
That is a brutal loss for you. Having to make that decision and deal with the pain of grief is an incredibly hard challenge.
The physical pain, the knots in your stomach and chest. Your heart literally hurts.
You can’t cry enough, and the crying brings no relief.
