The Abilities Collective @ Curtin
Statistics on disability and employment in Australia are sobering. 2.1 million Australians with a disability are of working age but just under half are employed – 47.8% compared with 80.3% employment of people without disability. Yet research demonstrates that hiring people with disability brings many benefits to workplaces, including competitive advantage, improved retention rates and increased productivity.
