The Disability Trust employs more than 1800 permanent and casual staff providing care for more than 4000 participants in NSW, ACT, and southeast Queensland.
Two supported employees and two other staff will be in The Plant Room Café at Horsley at any time.
Before they begin work with the Disability Trust, supported employees are given an opportunity to outline what their goals are, including where they would like to be in 12-18 months.
One of the supported employees who work at the café, Isabella said: “I always loved cooking and wanted to build on my confdence as I have always been quite shy”.
Isabella said she has a long-term goal to further her training in hospitality with a view to working in open employment.

Local chef Lorenzo Pagnan, who has experience at Illawarra establishments such as Ristorante Due Mezzi, Sweet Lips and the Cheeky Fig, will oversee training and food preparation.
“These supported employees will be taught to work in a fully operational kitchen with commercial equipment like coffee machines and the challenge of preparing food to order,” he said.
“It’s not a case of taking the lid off something and zap in the microwave for 30 seconds.”
The Plant Room café will be open for coffee, snacks and café food, Monday - Saturday from 8am until 2.30pm.
