Employ my ability: disability employment strategy

This strategy provides a guiding framework  for governments, employers and the broader community and aims to increase employment outcomes for people with disability.

The strategy is based on a social model of disability. It recognises attitudes, practices and structures can be disabling. They can act as barriers that prevent people from fulfilling their potential and exercising their rights as equal members of the community. The Strategy focuses on removing these barriers, so that workplaces are inclusive, and people with disability can thrive in their careers.

The strategy has 4 priority areas:

1. Lifting employer engagement, capability and demand.
2. Building employment skills, experience and confidence of young people with disability.
3. Improving systems and services for job seekers and employers.
4. Changing community attitudes.
