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.

Improve inclusiveness in the workplace

Review your agency’s Working for Queensland survey results for insights into any barriers and issues your employees living with disability are facing. Use this information to start a conversation with your team about how to create a more inclusive work environment.

You can complete the Queensland Government’s 50-minute disability inclusion course called 'My role: Disability inclusion champion' which covers:

• experiences of disability
• barriers to inclusion
• examples of inclusion in action
• what you can do to remove barriers and champion inclusion.

Connect with Diversity Council Australia for help improving your agency’s diversity and inclusion capacity.
