The rate of employment of people with disability in Australia has remained stagnant for decades. As a country, we need to do more. We know employment and economic participation are good for an individual’s self-esteem, health and financial independence.
IncludeAbility is an initiative developed to increase meaningful employment opportunities for people with disability, and to close the gap in workforce participation between people with disability and people without disability.
Within the context of IncludeAbility a meaningful employment opportunity is:
- a source of economic independence (that is, paid at the prevailing wage)
either ongoing or with a significant prospect of becoming ongoing - provided in an open context
- fulfilling
- inclusive
