Shape your National Disability Employment Strategy
19 April 2021
Public consultation on the National Disability Employment Strategy (Employment Strategy) is now open.
The Australian Government is developing a National Disability Employment Strategy to address the disadvantage experienced by people with disability looking for work.
The Employment Strategy will be a ten-year commitment to improve the employment outcomes for people with disability, supporting more jobseekers with disability into long term, meaningful employment.
The Employment Strategy will be a key element of the Government addressing the National Disability Strategy commitment to increase employment and economic inclusion for people with disability.
Through the Employment Strategy the Government is looking to make meaningful changes to the way supports to jobseekers with disability are delivered, and empower employers to confidently recruit people with disability.
To inform the development of the Employment Strategy, Government is seeking your feedback and ideas on how we can achieve meaningful change.
Your feedback is essential to help Government ensure the Employment Strategy focuses on the issues that matter most to all Australians and is well designed to achieve positive outcomes.
