This website has been developed to assist you and your organisation to build disability confidence , particularly in relation to employing people with disability and welcoming customers with disability.
"Disability Confidence" was developed to complement "Opportunity", a 20 page booklet produced by the Australian Employers' Network on Disability which articulates the business case for including people with disability as employees and customers. Hard copies of the booklet can be ordered online through the Contact Us page on this website, or an electronic version can be downloaded here.
This website contains a great deal of information about things you can do to make your business more accessible to customers with disability, and how to become an employer of choice for candidates and employees with disability.
One in five people in Australia, almost four million people, have a disability. People with disability purchase consumer goods, have jobs, go on holidays, access information and do all of the things that people without disability do. The only difference is that often people with disability come up against significant barriers while trying to do the things that many of us take for granted.
"Disability Confidence" is about considering the requirements of people with disability in designing your products and services, and when creating employment opportunities. Everyone benefits when people are treated as individuals.
This website and the "Opportunity" booklet have been developed by the Australian Employers' Network on Disability, a not for profit organisation funded by our members to take a leadership role in advancing the inclusion of people with disability in all aspects of business.
The Employers' Network assists organisations to build skills and confidence in relation to people with disability as employees, customers and other stakeholders.
