The afford lifestyle

capacity building finding and keeping A JOB SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT Afford is proudly the largest employer of people with a disability in the Sydney metro, and with that comes an unmatched level of expertise in supporting people with disability in meaningful work. For all of us, our job can go a long way toward adding purpose and personal satisfaction to our lives as well as opportunities to develop skills and socialise with friends on a regular basis. Afford is committed to giving people with disability across Sydney these same opportunities to achieve their full potential, and working with them to create fun and inclusive workplaces. We work closely with our supported employees to recognise their strengths and create opportunities around these while applying the highest standard of Workplace Health and Safety across each of our sites. As part of Afford’s whole-of-life approach, supported employees in the Afford community are also able to enjoy an Afford lifestyle, through opportunities to link in with social programs like Club Afford and Afford Getaways, as well as incredible Afford events like our Funathon, Annual Gala Ball and Afford’s Got Talent.
