"It's great to have Paige as part of our team. She has fitted in well and really understands what she is required to do. Working with the horses can be physically demanding, but Paige has taken it in her stride."

“I had a dark cloud over me … no one really knew how to help me. With these guys by my side, it’s amazing …. Look how far I’ve come, things can change … Through every dark night, there’s a brighter day.”

My involvement with Transition to Work (TtW) has been nothing but positive. I didn’t know where to go with my life as I dropped out of school and had no job. Katrina, a trainer in the ACFE program and the TtW team have given me the confidence and skills I’d never get if I was on my own.

Spending time in WCIG's SEE Program has shown me the light and the road to my success. I am now confident. I can be anything I want to be; nothing is stopping me.”

I can’t thank my Youth Coach, Perla, and WCIG enough. I had the best service... changed my life a lot. I can help my whole family way easier. I am looking forward to continuing to work with WCIG with study or work.

Casey is the best consultant I’ve ever had. She is always on the ball. She listens and remembers everything I tell her, returns my calls and is an all-round lovely person. I'm so glad to have her as my consultant.

Absolutely amazing people. They always go above and beyond to help you find a job in anything you are interested in. They have all helped me more than anyone I have known to get a job. I have had help from a guy, Raf, who just scored me the perfect job.

I wholeheartedly commend WCIG for the outstanding processes they have in place to support and promote the growth of our staff. Their Workforce Australia Services continuous professionalism, dedication, and tireless efforts have truly made a positive impact on our business, and we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with WCIG.

I have found WCIG and Mark (WCIG Indigenous Practice Leader) to be proactive, helpful and, easy to communicate with. Through active collaboration, WCIG understands my requirements which has led to well-presented and informed candidates with suitable skill sets, leading to successful outcomes.

It has been a pleasure to assist WCIG’s Work for the Dole program and the Mooroolbark Community Gardens project. Hortitech has been lucky enough to meet the people behind the scenes of this wonderful initiative. This idea of helping people with disabilities and people who struggle with loneliness has been a godsend. We are proud to support such a wonderful cause.

We have been improving lives across Melbourne and Geelong for more than 35 years.

We are a registered NDIS provider, passionate about inclusion, accessibility and potential.

About Us

It all started with an idea. In the 1980s, in response to growing unemployment in the area, the Westgate Baptist Community Church started a local response program to help teach computer skills to job seekers. Since then, WCIG has grown into an independent organisation with a long, proud history of delivering innovative, high-quality services that reflect the needs of our community. WCIG continues to support thousands of people across Melbourne and Geelong to make real changes in their lives.

Today, WCIG is a not-for-profit organisation empowering people to meet their goals and reach their potential. We provide assistance in employment, disability, youth and training, providing practical resources to help people find meaningful employment, increase independence and live more fulfilling lives.

We work together with a large network of community organisations, allied health services, employers, community groups, businesses and government to stay in touch with the needs of the people we support and evolve our programs to reflect this.
