Diversity Awareness: Disability

Duration: 30 minutes

Overview: This course takes a look at disability in Australia and provides information and advice to help participants increase and support diversity in their workplaces. 

We examine what disability is, including models and types of disability. We also provide tips for communication and improving inclusion of people with disability in the workplace to promote a culture of equality.

Why is this course important? People with disability face significant barriers to gaining and maintaining employment, and they experience high rates of discrimination in the workplace. Diversity of workplaces should reflect the diversity of our communities. To gain the full benefits of diversity workplaces need to understand the differences within their workforce and be able to foster inclusive environments.

This course will help to build a broad understanding of people with disability and how they contribute to a diverse workforce.
