Dedicated to Creating a Supportive, Sustainable Workplace
Self Help Workplace is in many ways just like every other business in Launceston. We produce and sell a range of goods and services which businesses and individuals want to buy. However, the unique part of our organisation comes down to the people who work in it. As a social enterprise, Self Help Workplace is motivated in everything we do, to provide people with disability with meaningful and productive work so they can enjoy independent and fulfilling lives.
In order to support this role, our staff and directors create a supportive workplace which empowers people with disabilities to take pride in their work, celebrate their achievements and produce quality products and services. They undertake this role through strategic planning to sustain the future of our organisation and facilitating day-to-day business operations, all with the goal of increasing the amount of support we can provide to people with a disability.
