FAQs

Unisson Works has two business units; Pack Works and Ground Works. The team at Pack Works provide mail distribution and packaging services, ranging from letter collation, folding and showbag packing to heat sealing and light assembly tasks.

The team at Ground Works provide lawn care and garden maintenance services to government and residential properties around Sydney’s Northern and Western Suburbs, and now the Central Coast.

Like any other job, our supported employees work at their own pace with support from a number of supervisors. Standard WHS requirements apply to ensure a safe and clean workplace.

Unisson Works' supported employees earn the Supported Employee Award wage + superannuation. Most supported employees are also paid the disability pension and therefore earn more than the minimum wage.

All full-time and part-time supported employees receive sick leave, annual leave and long service leave. This leave is pro-rata for part-time employees.
