We then:

- Undertake a disability friendly check.
- Provide tools to support your business.
- Link you to providers who can support you further in your focus areas.
Our “disability confident” employers play an important role in changing attitudes for the better in Australia. They are changing the behaviour and cultures in their own businesses and communities and making the most of the benefits of inclusive recruitment practices.
