Employment

All employees working in Australia have workplace rights, including the right to work in a safe environment, free from unlawful discrimination, bullying and harassment.

An Advocate can assist you if you feel you are being discriminated against because of your disability.

Additionally, we recognise that people with disabilities are under-represented in the workforce compared to those without a disability. We are working hard to change this through various projects aimed at building the capacity of individuals to gain employment, as well as working with businesses to eliminate unconscious bias, improve accessibility and match businesses to suitable employees.
