Since 1976, we have been providing inclusive, meaningful and accessible employment for people with disability. We empower our employees by investing in their strengths and providing tailored supports, helping them to break down barriers and achieve their true potential.
Through our innovative social enterprise solutions we engage in purposeful partnerships that deliver high quality services. And we work with local industry and community to develop an integrated employment approach, driving change for a more inclusive society.
a charity
with a difference
As a not for profit charity, at Brite, we offer long-term competitive advantage to our customers and exceptional customer service as set out in our Customer Service Charter.
We also deliver a positive impact in our community as a profit-for-purpose social enterprise.
When you partner with Brite, you’ll get quality products and services at competitive prices. And you’ll change lives in our community.
why we do
what we do
Everyone in our community has the right to work and earn a living but not everyone is lucky enough to have a job.
When it comes to employment for people with a disability, Australia ranks 21st out of 29 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries(1). Our ranking for relative poverty risk for people with a disability is even worse – we are 27th out of 27 OECD countries, with 45 per cent of Australians with disability living near or below the poverty line(2).
In 1993 the workforce participation rate for people with disability was 54.9 per cent and in 2012 it had dropped to 52.8 per cent(3). This needs to change. Our community deserves better and we’re working hard to improve outcomes. With your help, we can create a future that’s full of possibilities.
