National Panel of Assessors

It aims to empower Australian workplaces and employees to become more accessible and inclusive of people with disability by offering specialised workplace assessments that promote a safe, inclusive and compliant workplace environment.
How STEPS Can Support You
Our specialised team understands the current and evolving needs for employees in the workplace, particularly in situations where an Inclusive Employment Australia (IEA) provider has identified that an employee is likely to require ongoing support, and where:
- An employee has reached 26 weeks from job placement
- An employee joins an IEA provider as a Work Assist participant
- It has been 52 weeks since the employee’s last ongoing support assessment OR
- A change in circumstances means that an employee may need a higher level of ongoing support than previously identified
