About

The Australian Network on Disability is a national, membership based, for-purpose organisation that makes it easier for organisations to welcome people with disability in all aspects of business.

They are driven by their belief that people with disability are skilled and capable social and economic contributors, entitled to equitable opportunities in society. They work together with your business to help you increase your disability confidence, engagement and action.

They are not an employment agency, and don’t find jobs for people with disability. They give support, conduct training, share their knowledge and facilitate networking opportunities so that you can become disability confident.

Building disability confidence, engagement and action

Becoming disability confident makes good business sense, and is proven to improve outcomes, innovation and productivity.

But, even if your organisation is open to the idea of welcoming people with disability you may be unsure about exactly what to do.

Their highly skilled Relationship Managers take the time to listen so they get a good understanding of your needs. This helps them to develop a customised plan so you can meet your goals.

Supporting your business goals

They can:

  • -Help you develop the behaviours, attitudes, systems and knowledge to successfully engage with people with disability as employees, customers and stakeholders.
  • -Provide an effective management tool to measure your performance and help you to identify where to direct your resources for maximum impact - Access and Inclusion Index.
  • -Increase opportunities for you to engage with skilled people with disability through innovative programs such as their Stepping Into internship program and PACE mentoring program.
  • -Facilitate networking opportunities for mutual learning and information sharing – roundtable events and webinars.
  • -Collaborate with you to develop customised tools and specialist publications.
  • -Provide you with training in Disability Confidence for Human Resources, Disability Confidence for Managers and Disability Confident Recruiter.
  • -Undertake valuable projects that inform them on what it takes to successfully include people with disability as employees, customers and suppliers in a range of businesses and locations.

The Australian Network on Disability (AND) is a not for profit organisation funded by its members to take a leadership role in advancing the equitable inclusion of people with disability in all aspects of business. They assist theirmembers to reap the business benefits of employing people with disability, and welcoming customers with disability.

They are not an employment agency and do not find jobs for people with disability - they work on the employer-side to improve internal systems and procedures to ensure they are accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

Approximately 20% of the Australian population has a disability - that's one in every five people in Australia. Ensuring your organisation is disability confident isn't just the "right thing to do"​ - it also makes very good business sense.
