Today the Minister for Social Security Amanda Richworth, addressed Deakin University in Geelong to offically launch the federal government's updated disability strategy.

She said the strategy was "Australia's plan to make life better for people with disability".

Australia's disability strategy sets our our vision for an inclusive Australia. It is a commitment at all levels of government to take actions to improve the lives of people with disability in Australia.

An Australia where the 5.5 million people with disability have the support they need to live the life they want and participate as equal members in the community.

Ms Rishworth said the updates to the strategy reflected what had been heard since its original launch three years ago, including through the Royal Commission.

We heard from you that having accessible housing and reducing homelessness was a really important issue for people with disability - and that's why the updated strategy now has a priority focus on this.

On 3 December 2024, Toozly joins partners around the world to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This year, the theme is “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future”.

Persons with disabilities make up 16% of the global population, yet they rarely access leadership roles in the health sector. They commonly face numerous barriers which prevent them from accessing these roles, such as discrimination, stigma, or exclusion from education and employment opportunities.

Toozly recognizes that amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities is essential to make meaningful progress in achieving global health goals, advancing health equity for all, and building a more inclusive and sustainable future. 

The Australian Disability Network has produced a short film It's Not Hard to be Inclusive starring disability advocates Madeleine Stewart and Sam Wade. A fresh and funny take on 'What is Disability?' sets the agenda by placing workplace inclusion front and center. 

The Federal Government has recently completed its evaluation of the Disability Employment Services (DES) program and has made a number of observations and recommendations. In particular, it has recommended that several providers should lose their contracts due to poor performance. The review also commented that a number of providers “park” their most difficult jobseekers and deem them to be too difficult to place into open employment. It was also observed that a number of jobseekers only remained  in employment until the employer government subsidy expired and then the jobseekers were let go.

The ‘parking’ and employers only taking on a jobseeker with disability until the subsidy runs out are not new phenomena as they have been occurring for many years in the DES program.
