Australians who have a disability are much less likely to be in work than someone without a disability. The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability is holding hearings this week into the barrieras to work that exist.

Guests:
- Christina Ryan, CEO and founder, Disability Leadership Institute
- Robin Banks, former Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Commissioner and director, Equality Building
Duration: 22min
