Australia lags behind the rest of the developed world in disability employment – missing out on the potential $50bn that workers with disability could add to GDP by 2050. Only 48% of working-age people with disability are employed, compared with 80% in the mainstream.
Yet we know that 85% of Australian businesses report that staff shortages are holding back their ability to operate at full capacity.1
Furthermore, 50% of Australian managers have never hired or worked with a person with disability before, and 71% of these say they have faced too many barriers when trying to do so.
Clearly, Australia’s current mechanisms for disability employment are not working.
It’s time for change.

Our Connect team will introduce you to candidates, support your selections and arrange workplace visits.
We offer a range of customised ways to job match candidates with employers, so that both are set up for success. Our unique work trial model supports your chosen candidate to spend 1 – 3 weeks experiencing the role on a trial basis. This helps build confidence in a job match, identify any adjustments, and ensures managers are familiar with working with an employee with a disability in a supported way.
On-going training and support for both your new hire and their manager ensures lasting, sustainable success.
