    Australians for Disability and Diversity Employment (ADDE) Inc. are pleased to present the 2011 Best of the Best Disability Employment Forum.

    Fri. 21ST OCTOBER 2011, 1.15pm- 4pm at The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, Level 3, 204 Lygon Street, Carlton.

     

    Our mission is to increase employment opportunities for people with disabilities and from diverse backgrounds in Australia. For those of you who are not aware we were officially formed on September 7, 2005 at Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS).

    ADDE promotes pro-active employment policies and practices for disadvantaged groups including people with disabilities, mature age workers, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as well as indigenous people. People who fall into more than one of these categories are recognised as being even more disadvantaged. Therefore, we see a greater need for a change of attitude and awareness.
