Employment
Unlike most workplaces, at Greenacres Enterprises we don’t find the right person for the job, we find the right job for the person.
Our person centred approach means we take the time to really get to know you. We won’t place you in a job until we know your skills and abilities, your likes and dislikes, what interests you most, and your goals and dreams for the future.
With work opportunities over three different facilities in North Wollongong, as well as work in the community, we can find a job to suit you.
Our work at Greenacres Enterprises varies from packaging, labelling and assembly through to industrial sewing, light manufacturing, E-waste, hospitality, retail and labour hire crews.
Greenacres Enterprises is an Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE) and is part of the BuyAbility network. All products and services from BuyAbility members are quality assured and Australian made and operated.

Social Enterprises
At Greenacres, we understand that a fulfilling working life is a varied one, so we strive to give our employees the opportunity to work in the community.
We have had successful contracts in areas such as building, groundskeeping and IT support and are always looking to create more.
Community Connect
Greenacres is partnering with other Illawarra not-for-profit organisations, like the IRT Group and Wollongong Homeless Hub, to create tailored volunteer opportunities for people with an NDIS plan.
Why volunteer through Community Connect?
- It connects you to other people
