Good Sammy is a for-purpose organisation creating employment opportunities for Western Australians with disability. Everything we do is motivated by this purpose, and has been since we were founded in 1958.
We believe creating inclusive workplaces is the foundation for an inclusive society. It is this belief that underpins our vision to transform workplaces and society through disability employment.
At Good Sammy we offer a variety of structured development programs and employment choices to encourage people living with a disability to explore life.
We empower people to make their own choices so they can identify their goals, feel connected to their community and be supported as they work towards independence and employment aspirations.
