Australian Employers Network on Disability

The Australian Employers Network on Disability is a not for profit organisation funded by its members to take a leadership role in advancing the equitable inclusion of people with disability in all aspects of business.

We assist organisations to build skills and confidence in relation to people with disability as employees, customers and other stakeholders.  With around 20% of Australians experiencing some type of disability, people with disability are already very much part of each and every workplace.  However there are many more talented people with disability looking for opportunities.

Our members work together with our highly skilled disability consultants so that they can confidently recruit from the entire talent pool, minimising the effects of the skills shortages both now and in the future.  We also assist our members to recognise and remove any barriers that may exist in their recruitment processes, which can unintentionally block talented and skilled people with disability from applying.

In today’s business landscape it is very important for Australian organisations to reflect the diversity of the community in which they operate.  Employing people with disability isn’t just the right thing to do, it makes very good business sense.
The Australian Employers’ Network on Disability aims to assist our members to reap the benefits of the business case of employing people with disability.
