Improving the recruitment and selection of people with disabilities

Despite representing nearly 20% of the Australian population, people with disabilities are severely underrepresented in the workforce and face numerous barriers to employment.

In our recent research project we examined the challenges that organisations face in employing people with disabilities, the gaps between best practice and actual practice among organisations in Western Australia, and what can be done to improve these practices.

This white paper provides the key findings from this research, practical steps organisations can take in attracting and employing people with disabilities, and some case studies of organisations who have seen great success with their initiatives.
