Mylestones Employment<br />
Over the past year, Mylestones Employment<br />
ensured 446 new job starts for people<br />
with disability, and 70% went on to reach<br />
full employment. Funded by the Federal<br />
Department of Employment, Education<br />
and Workplace Relations (DEEWR),<br />
services, participants and staff continued<br />
to grow with outreach sites opening in<br />
Kilcoy, Bribie Island and Coolangatta. We<br />
also commenced a specialist Indigenous<br />
Employment program from Caboolture.<br />
Looking forward<br />
IB&D is developing more integrated<br />
service streams that will enable us to<br />
deliver integrated transition to work<br />
and transition to retirement programs<br />
as well as expand training available to<br />
some 80 courses. A successful DEEWR<br />
Disability Employment Service tender<br />
will see Mylestones Employment and<br />
other services extend further into<br />
regional Queensland in 2013.<br />
Mylestones Employment performed 40%<br />
above the national average on DEEWR<br />
performance measures and is one of few<br />
organisations in the state to have a number<br />
of sites receive a 4-star DEEWR rating.<br />
Mylestones Printing<br />
Mylestones Printing specialises in direct mail,<br />
printing, binding and laminating across two<br />

supports 46 employees with disabilities<br />
across both sites. Seventeen supported<br />
employees also completed or progressed<br />
towards certificate courses this year.<br />

assisted 273 participants with accredited<br />
training. As the <strong>Cerebral</strong> <strong>Palsy</strong> <strong>League</strong>’s<br />
Registered Training Organisation, its<br />
