Kiara, a First Nations woman living with disability in Tamworth, joined the Inclusive Employment Australia program in November 2025, seeking a role that truly suited her skills and goals.
After searching for work for some time without any follow-through, Kiara’s confidence had taken a hit. Despite this, she remained highly motivated and determined to keep going.
She connected with Inclusive Employment Australia Mentor Stephanie at our Tamworth office, who immediately began working with Kiara to find the right work environment and a fulfilling role for her.
To prepare her for employment, Steph supported Kiara with pre-employment requirements such as obtaining her Working With Children Check, sourcing appropriate interview clothing, and organising work shoes.
Steph remained available as often as Kiara needed, scheduling more frequent appointments to check in, providing consistent support, and helping rebuild Kiara’s confidence.
Having previously completed her Certificate III in Business Administration, Kiara expressed a strong interest in administrative work. When an opportunity arose to work in administration at a local medical service, she eagerly applied.
