APM’s employment consultants are part

more than 400 locations.
Together they enable more than 130,000
people to improve their lives every year.More than two months later and
Micheal is now carrying out various
duties including mowing, pruning, tractor
maintenance and learning about different
equipment parts and power tools.Bethany Sivewright is one person who
can relate to facing challenges when
determined to succeed in a job.
Bethany came to APM with several
barriers to finding work, including a
spinal disorder and chronic back pain,
Asperger’s syndrome, anxiety and a
hectic schedule to support her
various conditions.
Working with her APM consultant Shane,
Bethany’s personal plan started by
making sure she was able to attend her
doctor’s appointments, support services
and achieve small health goals to
increase her confidence and boost her
wellbeing. When she was ready, Shane
approached local employers to give
Bethany a trial in the workplace.
It didn’t take long for Bethany to
impress staff and become popular
with customers at Take The Plunge Café
in Bundaberg where she was soon
offered a part-time paid job.
