AddressAt the Salvation Army Employment Plus (EPlus), we've worked with over 200,000 businesses across Australia and seen well over half a million Australians successfully placed in employment. We don't ever see a job, as just a job. We see a job as an opportunity for a better, more secure, more stable and empowered life.
Part of the Disability Employment Services Program, Employment Plus places many people into sustainable work every week, guided by our mission to provide quality Employment Services to participants and employers.
