Consultancy

Strategic disability inclusion, led by lived experience

AFDO partners with organisations to embed disability inclusion at a systems level. Our consultancy services support structural, policy and cultural reform, moving beyond awareness to measurable organisational change.

Through our social enterprise model, AFDO Impact, we deliver lived experience-led advisory and strategic services that are practical, credible and aligned with national legislation and human rights frameworks.

What differentiates our consultancy

Unlike standalone training, our consultancy:

  • Reviews systems, governance and policy settings
  • Identifies organisational risk and compliance gaps
  • Embeds accessibility into infrastructure and operations
  • Supports Disability Inclusion Action Plan development and review
  • Aligns disability inclusion with ESG and workforce strategy
  • Facilitates ethical lived experience engagement

 

Inclusion Strategy and Advisory

Disability Inclusion Action Plans: Development, review and implementation support to ensure DIAPs are practical, measurable and embedded across business units.

Policy and Workforce Reviews: Assessment of recruitment, inherent requirements, adjustment processes, retention strategies and workforce data.

Accessibility Audits and Reviews: Structured assessment of workplaces, digital assets, documents and customer environments, with prioritised recommendations.

Inclusive Employment Advisory: Practical guidance on building disability confident workplaces, including disclosure processes, workplace adjustments and leadership capability.

Lived Experience Consultation: Ethical, paid engagement of people with disability through focus groups, advisory panels and user testing to inform service design and policy.

 

Our approach

Every consultancy engagement is:

  • Led and informed by people with disability
  • Tailored to your organisational context
  • Grounded in Australian legislation and policy
  • Focused on practical implementation
  • Designed to support long-term systemic change

By partnering with AFDO, organisations not only strengthen their own inclusion outcomes but also contribute to reinvestment into national disability advocacy and systemic reform.
