International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations sanctioned day held each year on 3 December.
It is a day that aims to help break down barriers and encourage inclusion for the 4.3 million Australian’s living with disability.
APM proudly supports International Day of People with Disability and recognises the wonderful contribution people with a disability make to workplaces across the world.
Since 1994 APM have assisted more than 1 million people with disability on their journey into meaningful and sustainable employment with leading Australian businesses.
If you are living with an injury, illness or disability, contact APM today to speak to us about opening doors to your employment. Or you can register now.
How is APM supporting IDPwD?
APM is holding a number of events across the country to help build awareness and understanding of people with disability.
