The annual celebration and recognition of people with disability aims to reduce the inaccurate stereotypes that surround many disabilities and enable more recognition of an individual’s ability.
It also provides a chance for leaders to check if their organisation is missing out on the multiple benefits of being inclusive of people with disability.
At APM we help thousands of people with disability access employment, community and mainstream support every day.
Across APM our teams help organisations to better serve customers, support employees, and grow in their community.
We believe everyone has a role to play in enabling better lives for people with disability, and we want to make it easier for more people and organisations to do just that.
If you’re living with or you’ve experienced disability, we’re inviting you to share what you think employers should know about you and your ability to work.

At APM we believe everyone should be able to enjoy good work.
