Wonderful to hear Jenny talk about the move towards more inclusive practices #AuDNImpact2024

Honoured to have Maria Soledad Cisternas Reyes as the opening keynote speaker at #AusDNImpact2024 🙏🏻

The report is distressing as it demonstrates that we have a long way to go to change attitudes towards people with a disability, including the bigotry of low expectations. However, we’re pleased by the recommendations supporting disability employment targets. #DisabilityRC

[Kurt Fearnley @kurtfearnley]

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Disability Royal Commission. For sharing your stories, revisiting your trauma and making sure our community was heard. It is now up to all of us to make sure your voice was not wasted #DisabilityRC

[Corene Strauss @CoreneStrauss]

A new approach is needed to address the entrenched problem of under-representation of people with disability in the workforce. We sincerely hope the Disability Royal Commission this week recommends the introduction of employment targets. #DisabilityRC #Disability @ANDisability

As the disability royal commission prepares to hand down its final report, the community has its hopes pinned on recommendations to put an end to the trauma so many still experience, writes Nas Campanella. https://t.co/7gBA9lCdLR

Good Sammy's has more than 700 employees - 52 per cent of whom have a disabilitv. It was great to meet with some of them in Canning Vale yesterday with my friend, the Member for Tangney Sam Lim.

I’ve just spent the day at the second public hearing of the #ADHD inquiry here in Perth - what a wide range of fascinating, sometimes very moving insights from people with lived experience and professionals alike! Here’s some of the things I heard that I’d like to share: (🧵)

[Talking Disability @TalkDisability_]

"Get a job," is one of the hardest things to hear when you try each day to get one. The fact of the matter is, it's not as easy as it once was. Worse yet, it's never been easy for the people who need it the most. #disability @joblifeemployau

I was interviewed on @SBSNews about the @BCAcomau report showing employers want to hire people with disability but employment rates aren't improving. @ANDisability is working with our 450 members to bring about meaningful change. @AmandaRishworth #inclusion
