Be a Changemaker
Employ a person with disability

For each of us a job helps define who we are. It becomes part of our identity. For those with a disability, having a job has even greater significance. That’s why when you employ someone with a disability, you become a Changemaker.

Many organisations are increasingly recognising the business benefits of employing people with disability. They include:

• Access to a broader talent pool, as people with disability bring a diverse range of skills and abilities and new and valuable perspectives to the workplace
• Improved customer service and attraction - being disability confident, including how to communicate with customers with disability, enhances customer service
• Enhanced reputation and brand – people view companies that hire people with disability more favourably
• Stronger workplace morale and productivity through a more committed and diverse workplace
• When you employ a person with a disability the following incentives may be available to your business including wage subsidies, rebates for workplace modifications and new technologies and other forms of financial assistance
