We are changing how we support people with disability. Our A Community for All-Abilities program aims to create an accessible and inclusive community where everyone participates.
A Community for All Abilities
Currently, five projects have been developed to create A Community for All-Abilities program.
EmployAbility Glen Eira
EmployAbility Glen Eira is designed to deliver successful and sustainable employment outcomes for people living with a disability and vulnerable youth living in Glen Eira. The program involves understanding the unique strengths, skills and interests for each individual in the program.
The program promotes workplaces that are committed to achieving a diverse and inclusive workplace. Bringing together employers and people with disabilities or vulnerable youth to offer sustainable and meaningful job opportunities.

GROW Glen Eira
GROW Glen Eira is an exciting and innovative horticulture training program for young people with a disability seeking open employment in horticulture. Since 2020 Kevin Heinze GROW have supported participants with various career goals and support needs, with the vast majority leaving the program with a vocational or education pathway secured.
Participants will undertake a customised hands-on horticulture training program based at Kevin Heinze GROW’s Doncaster Nursery, with opportunities available to complete work placements through Council’s Park Services and Kevin Heinze GROW’s mobile garden maintenance service ‘Grow on the Go’, and elsewhere.
Towards the completion of the program, participants will be supported in their journey to find employment or volunteering opportunities within the horticulture industry in their community.
