3. Learn and share more about disability diversity and inclusion
APM started 2020 by launching the first ever Disability Diversity & Inclusion Index of Australian businesses.
We gathered insights from more than 600 business across Australia and spoke to more than 1,200 people with disability about access to employment, careers, equality and inclusion.
The research enabled us to record an inaugural benchmark rating of disability diversity and inclusion of businesses in Australia.
The benchmark rating for 2020 was 57.6 out of 100. Showing there is plenty of work to be done by organisations across Australia to be more diverse and inclusive of people with disability.
