This guide provides information on how to attract people with disability to your organisation by:
- demonstrating a commitment to accessibility and inclusion as organisational values
- outlining ways to proactively connect with candidates with disability
- establishing accessible and inclusive recruitment practices.
People with disability have a wide range of experiences, skills, abilities and qualifications to bring to the workplace, work in a wide range of jobs across all levels, including entry level, middle management and senior leadership roles.[1]
Australian and international studies have found that people with disability are reliable and productive employees, have fewer workplace accidents than employees without a disability and take fewer sick days.
