Membership
Disability Employment Australia is the peak industry body for the Disability Employment Sector.
Membership of Disability Employment Australia is open to organisations and individuals across Australia. Our members find significant value in their membership.
This is reflected in our 2025 Member Survey:
- 8.8/10 for overall satisfaction with DEA’s service
- 8.8/10 for policy and advocacy
- 8.3/10 for events and networking opportunities
- 8.9/10 for keeping members informed
- 7.6/10 for spreading and capturing best practice in disability employment
We truly represent our sector – over 80% of the IEA caseload is supported by DEA members and approximately 65% of DEA members also deliver NDIS services.
Organisational
Our members enjoy a comprehensive range of benefits including input to influence our policy positions on key issues, access to expert industry support and resources, special rates on training, networking and events tailored to our sector’s needs and so much more.
Individual
If your employer is not a DEA member, but you’re committed to developing your skills and expertise as you build your career in disability employment, you can join our Professional Membership Program and enjoy the privileges of membership.
