Join the Movement.
Our aim is to build momentum across the employment landscape for people with different abilities, so that whenever there is a recruitment process they are unreservedly engaged, considered and employed.
We want people with diverse abilities to consistently have equal opportunities for enriching, fulfilling jobs and supported career progression doing whatever sets their heart on fire.
Our commitment.
The Inclusive Employment Movement is committed to breaking down barriers to meaningful employment for people with disabilities.
We want to drive change so that people with diverse abilities can work in mainstream workplaces and have mainstream careers, instead of limited opportunities in ‘safe and secure’ environments.
Together, we embrace workplace cultures where people can openly identify as having different abilities without fear of prejudice.
Why a Movement?
Diversity and inclusion are fundamental pillars of a caring, strong and understanding society. In our communities, they foster connectivity, compassion and empathy. In our workplaces, they drive creativity, innovation and insight.
Australian workplaces are increasingly reflecting the diversity in our community, with progress made in some areas including gender and cultural representation. However, equality of opportunity in employment for people with diverse abilities is lagging. Fulfilling employment can be difficult to find.
Studies show that people with diverse abilities bring unique talents, skills and insights to the workplace that can lead to improved morale, better staff retention rates and competitive advantages.
