Community AXIS Enterprises Inc. (CAEI) is a not for profit organisation based in Victoria and South East South Australia and trading as AXIS Employment and AXIS Worx.
From its humble beginning back in 1991 as Wimmera Job Match to the industry leading organisation it is today, AXIS Employment has grown from strength to strength and has changed the lives of thousands of Job Seekers along the way.
For over 30 years our organisation has successfully delivered government funded disability services to people with disability in the Grampians region.
In 2012 AXIS Employment successfully tendered to provide Disability Employment Service in 5 additional Employment Service Area’s (ESA’s) The expansion into the Eureka, Bendigo, Sunraysia, Mid Murray and South East SA areas was a momentous milestone in our long history of providing quality employment services to people with disability, illness and injury. It reflected the Government’s recognition of the quality outcomes we provide to Job Seekers and Employers and their faith in us to replicate this service in other areas.
More success came in 2016 when we were awarded a new contract through the Department of Jobs and Small Business (formally Dept. of Employment) called Transition to Work (TtW), which we currently operate in Horsham, Mildura and Swan Hill. The program is designed to assist young people, aged 15-24, to re-engage in either work or education.
In early 2018, exciting news came through that AXIS Employment had been successful in applying for new business in an additional 2 ESA’s, Hampden and Western District in Victoria. Along with the new sites, we were also successful in our application to operate Disability Management Services (DMS) in all 8 of our ESA’s. The prospect of being able to span an even bigger area and service more Job Seekers than ever before is fantastic news and we know that when we apply the winning “AXIS” formula in these new ESA’s, it makes a huge impact not only on our Job Seekers, but the wider community. Something we are extremely proud of.
In 2011, AXIS Worx was formed through the amalgamation of Community AXIS Enterprises Inc and The Wool Factory. AXIS Worx was contracted initially by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Service and Indigenous Affairs and then the Department of Social Services to deliver a Disability Employment Assistance Program as an Australian Disability Enterprise. Under this contracted agreement AXIS Worx was able to offer employment to up to 43 Employees in a supported employment setting. In October 2017, AXIS Worx began the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and as of July 2018 was completely funded under the NDIS. Under the NDIS, AXIS Worx is no longer limited in the number of places that it can offer Supported Employment. AXIS Worx offers employment withing three separate enterprises, E-Worx Wood Worx and Pak Worx.
CAEI is certified to the International Quality Systems ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AS-NZS 5377 and the National Standards for Disability Services. Our organisation is dedicated to continuous improvement. Underpinning this commitment to quality are our recruitment policies which ensure we employ professional, qualified and empathetic staff to assist our most important assets – our Job Seekers, Employers, Supported Employees and Customers.
