    Disability Employment Survey

     

    Research on Disability Employment in the Victorian Disability Sector

    Are disability organisations leading from the front when it comes to the employment of people with disabilities?

    A research report investigating employment practices of the Victorian disability sector commissioned by Australians for Disability and Diversity Employment was launched on Monday 18 August 2008 at the Victorian Equal Opportunities and Human Rights Commission, Level 3, 380 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.

    The keynote speakers were Suzanne Colbert, CEO of the Australian Employers Network on Disability, who spoke by video link, and Cath Smith, VCOSS CEO. 

    The report identifies a number of best practice measures that the disability sector could adopt to increase the participation of people with disabilities in employment.

    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.
