Build your disability confidence

One in six Australians lives with disability. However, a lack of awareness, exposure and understanding can cause people with disability to be overlooked for employment opportunities.

With Australia’s ageing population and significant skill shortages in many industries, smart employers are taking advantage of this relatively untapped potential while ensuring their team best reflects the community in which it operates.

Like all employees, people with disability bring a range of skills, abilities and qualifications to the workplace and work in all sorts of jobs.

The National Disability Recruitment Coordinator(Opens in a new tab/window) (NDRC) is the employer engagement service of JobAccess. It is designed to help large employers build their disability knowledge and skills and access the talents of people with disability. This guide from JobAccess and the NDRC explores three ways in which employers can engage with the NDRC to support their organisation’s disability initiatives.
