Disability inclusive workplaces

The Queensland Government wants more people with disability to join, stay and grow their careers in the public sector.

Use the resources below to help create a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace.

Create a more inclusive workplace

Review your agency’s Working for Queensland survey results. Use them to find barriers for employees with disability. Talk with your team about how to make your workplace more inclusive.

Complete the Queensland Government’s 50-minute My role: Disability inclusion champion course. It covers:

  • experiences of disability
  • barriers to inclusion
  • examples of inclusion in action
  • how to remove barriers and support inclusion.

Consider joining Diversity Council Australia to help improve diversity and inclusion in your agency.
