Since 1995, IDEAL Placements has been a cornerstone of the Mackay and Whitsundays region, providing life-changing support to individuals on their journey to meaningful employment. What started as a small, grassroots initiative from a local family has grown into a trusted not-for-profit organisation that continues to make a real impact across regional Queensland.
For three decades, IDEAL Placements has worked alongside participants, employers, and community partners to deliver personalised, practical, and inclusive support. With five local agencies and flexible outreach into remote areas, their programs are designed to meet people where they are, offering choice, practical support, and genuine opportunity.
The organisation delivers a range of services, including Disability Employment Services, Workforce Australia programs, Transition to Work, Career Transition Assistance and Skilling Queenslanders for Work projects. But beyond the services, it’s the values of connection, trust, and local commitment that have defined IDEAL Placements over the years.
This June, IDEAL Placements is inviting the community to help celebrate 30 years of service with a series of events across Bowen, Cannonvale, Proserpine, Sarina, and Mackay. These gatherings will be a chance to reconnect, reflect, and recognise the stories, people, and partnerships that have made the journey possible.
It’s not just a celebration of years, it’s a celebration of lives changed, communities supported, and futures built.
