IncludeAbility Illawarra Employment Pilot

The Disability Trust is proud to be working with the Australian Human Rights Commission’s IncludeAbility Project (IncludeAbility), led by the Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Ben Gauntlett.

IncludeAbility is a disability employment project that aims to improve employment opportunities for people with disability. Through IncludeAbility, The Disability Trust will put forward eligible job seekers to interested employers. We have many people with disability in our Disability Employment Services program who are interested in gaining employment and benefiting from economic participation. All outcomes of the Pilot are being assessed by Swinburne University’s Centre for Social Impact, who have been engaged by the Australian Human Rights Commission to evaluate IncludeAbility.
