I recently had the honour of having Tony Cavallaro as a guest on The Employment Services Show Podcast. Tony is the Regional Manager of the Regional South Australia & Northern Territory at APM, a global human services organisation, with over 5000 staff across ten countries, and is the Australian Government’s largest provider of Disability Employment Services


The first time I spoke with Tony was about a year ago on the phone. Within two minutes of speaking with him, I knew that he was on his way to greatness within employment services, but most important, that he cared about what he did.

We finally met a few months ago face to face and I knew straight away that he would be a valuable guest for the podcast. His knowledge about Disability Employment Services (DES), sales and leadership blew me away.

I highly recommend listening to this episode, as Tony is full of valuable information and insights.

What we covered in the full podcast:

1.Tony’s journey into Employment Services

2.His strategy for driving performance as a leader. And advice he gives to other leaders in this industry who may have just started out.

3.Tony shares two good news stories from APM where they changed lives.

4.What advice he would give to someone (an employment practitioner) who is just starting out and is fearful of going out there and marketing their jobseekers.

5.Some myths and misconceptions about people with disabilities in the workplace.

6.What he wished he’d known when he first started out in this industry.
