One in five Australians of working age are living with disability, but only 48% of them are employed compared to 80% of the rest of the population. Despite this, employees with disability are more likely to stick around for longer, take fewer sick days, provide unique perspectives, enhance collaboration, and promote a culture of problem-solving.
