More Australians with disabilities are using Australian Government employment services according to new figures in this report. Over 82,000 people used open and supported employment services to help them find a job - an increase of over seven per cent on the previous year. Of these, over 61 per cent were employed for some or all of the time during the 2006/07 financial year.

People with intellectual disability using the services were most likely to be employed (84.1 per cent) while those with a physical or psychiatric disability face the greatest challenges in finding employment.
