Tursa Employment and Training is making waves in the Ipswich community, providing free employment and training support to individuals with disabilities and NDIS participants. Featured on the All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, Tursa representative Martin highlighted the organisation’s 30-year legacy of empowering individuals across southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales.
“We’re here to enhance what participants receive through the NDIS, but we operate outside of their funding, offering our services completely free of charge,” Martin explained.
Personalized Employment Pathways
Tursa works closely with clients to assess abilities, set goals, and identify tailored pathways into the workforce. With connections across various industries, including hospitality, administration, and creative arts, the organization offers practical solutions to match clients with roles that align with their aspirations.
A key feature of Tursa’s program is its ongoing support. “We provide up to 52 weeks of post-placement support for both the participant and the employer,” Martin said, ensuring long-term success in the workplace.
Collaboration with the Community
Tursa also collaborates with support coordinators and community groups to streamline access to its services. Patti, co-host of the All Ability Hour, highlighted the value of Tursa’s approach: “It’s so important for participants to see what’s possible and to connect with supportive employers who understand their abilities.”
Celebrating Success
Martin shared a heartwarming story of a client passionate about dance. By securing a reception role at a dance studio, Tursa enabled her to work in a space that inspired her. “The disability became an ability,” Martin emphasised, reflecting the organisation’s mission.
