Joseph, who lives with Tourette's syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia, is like one-in-five Australians who live with a disability.
After struggling to find work, Joseph found an opportunity through APM Employment Services who placed him into a role at Delron, Ventia's commercial cleaning business.
Speaking of his difficult job search, Joseph said "I just wanted to get some work - I was desperate to work but employers didn't want to know."
Now, after finding work with Delron he says:
It just feels awesome to have a job."
Known for his committed work ethic combined with his sense of humour and charming personality, Joseph is a popular member of the Delron team.
Described as a hard worker, Joseph's manager Jackie Irving says "He always does an excellent job."
Currently, Joseph cleans Delron's Perth office and other client offices in the area.
Delron's Executive Manager, Brad Western, said
We pride ourselves on our diverse workforce and inclusive team culture and are grateful to APM for placing Joseph with us. He is a well-respected member of our team and our clients speak highly of him too.'
