Start Up – Entrepreneurship opportunities for people with disability

Start Up is a peer-led entrepreneurship program for people with intellectual disability. The purpose of Start Up is to create meaningful employment opportunities for people with disability based on the skills and strengths that they have developed, by navigating a difficult social and physical environment.

328,000 Australians have intellectual disability.
