Tomorrow, leaders from government, business and the disability sector will gather at the Sydney Opera House for the launch of the inaugural State of the Nation Report on Disability Employment.
Hosted by DEInvestments and the State of the Nation Steering Committee, the event will feature Minister Tanya Plibersek, Professor Alastair McEwin and business leaders discussing the future of disability employment in Australia and the opportunities that exist to create more inclusive workplaces.
The report brings together national data and new research across four key areas:
Workforce participation
Job quality
Employer engagement and capability
Employee motivation and experience of work
Together, these findings will provide an important evidence base for understanding progress in disability employment and identifying opportunities for employers, organisations and policymakers to drive further change.
Wallis Social Research is proud to have delivered the data collection for this landmark project. Our team worked closely with the project partners to gather insights that contribute to a richer understanding of the employment experiences of Australians with disability, as well as the perspectives of employers across the country.
We're looking forward to attending the launch, hearing the findings firsthand and celebrating the collective effort behind this important piece of research.
We’ll include the report here once it is published.
