Disability inclusive workplaces

The Queensland Government is committed to increasing the representation and careers of people living with disability in government. See our Disabling the barriers to employment in the Queensland public sector implementation plan 2023 (PDF, 339.6 KB) .

Use the resources available to create an inclusive workplace where employees who live with disability feel safe, respected and included.
