Work is currently underway to set up two more sites in the Bairnsdale and surrounding areas to give more of an opportunities to NDIS participants who may find it hard to gain employment in the mainstream employment system.
Participants will be learning crucial skills such as computer skills, mathematic and written skills and all business related skills.
Participants will also be processing refunds to the public once they have deposited the cans for processing.
