• Employees with a disability average one-sixth the recorded occupational health and safety incidents of employees without a disability.

• People with disability are more reliable, less likely to have accidents, and less likely to take sick leave.

• 86% of employees with a disability met the average or have superior attendance records.

Why create a Diverse Workforce?

• Employees with a disability are increasingly valued for the unique qualities and contribution that they bring to their workforce. They are often viewed positively by co-workers and can have a positive effect on your workplace moral.

• The buying power of people with a disability is growing with our aging population with a disposable income in the billions of dollars. It is increasingly important to have the makeup of your workforces reflect the makeup of consumers for their particular insights and knowledge in this growing market.


• Those who benefit most from inclusive diversity practices are people that are considered “disadvantaged” in our communities; there is good reason to promote a diverse workforce as an act of good corporate responsibility. By diversifying your workforces, you can give them the “break” they need to earn a living and make a contribution.

• To minimise the likelihood of litigation. Since the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) penalties of up to $35 million have been issued to some Australian Companies.
