We are delighted to announce that Arjo Australia, in collaboration with Asuria’s Alexandra Iordanidis, National Industry Partnership Manager, has been named a finalist in the 2025 Erin Carey Employer Partnership Award, part of the prestigious Disability Employment Australia (DEA) Awards. 

 The DEA Awards, held annually, celebrate excellence in Australia’s disability employment sector. The Erin Carey Employer Partnership Award specifically honours long-term collaborations between employers and practitioners that have created sustainable, high-quality jobs for Disability Employment Services (DES) candidates. Named after Erin Carey, a visionary advocate for inclusive employment, this award recognises partnerships that drive systemic change and meaningful career outcomes. 

 Arjo, a global leader in medical technology, and Alexandra Iordanidis, one of our most dedicated practitioners, have forged a transformative partnership that exemplifies these values. Their collaboration has delivered exceptional employment opportunities for people with disability. By combining Arjo’s commitment to inclusive hiring with Alexandra’s expertise in employer engagement, they have developed innovative recruitment practices that prioritise accessibility, equity, and long-term career growth. 

 This partnership has resulted in sustainable job placements with high retention rates, reflecting the quality and care invested in matching DES candidates to roles that align with their skills and aspirations. Alexandra’s tailored approach to understanding Arjo’s workforce needs, along with Arjo’s proactive efforts to foster an inclusive workplace culture, have empowered employees with disability to thrive. Their work builds on Arjo’s recent recognition as the winner of the Diversity and Inclusion Impact Award at the Asuria Employer Awards, where they were celebrated for creating a workplace that embraces diversity and supports employee wellbeing. 

 The Erin Carey Employer Partnership Award celebrates the spirit of collaboration that Alexandra and Arjo embody, echoing Erin’s legacy of breaking down barriers and building pathways to meaningful employment. Being named finalists is a powerful recognition of their shared vision and impact, and we’re looking forward to seeing their achievements recognised at the DEA Conference Gala Dinner this week on the Gold Coast. So, stay tuned and join us in cheering them on! 

 Congratulations, Arjo and Alexandra. Your partnership is a beacon of hope and progress for inclusive employment.
