A man who is vision impaired, who has spent the last decade looking for work, wants disability employment agencies to be held more accountable for failing to help clients.A representative group for people who are blind or visually impaired says many employers still hold stigma and misunderstanding when it comes to hiring people with disabilities.


Hobart-resident Peter Gordon has spent much of the last ten years being a stay-at-home dad to his son and two stepchildren.  But he was always desperate to find permanent work, and went to job-agencies for help. He would get small jobs  but nothing consistent. He is frustrated with the treatment he has received.
