Employers are obligated to support members of the workforce who have disabilities. This includes contractors and workers engaged through temporary staffing services.
The final report of the Royal Commission has been published, with more information than can be included here. Volume 7 of the report contains information specific to education, employment and housing.
Employment is also about human rights. Article 27 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) recognises:
the right of persons with disabilities to work, on an equal basis with others; this
includes the right to the opportunity to gain a living by work freely chosen or
accepted in a labour market and work environment that is open, inclusive and
accessible to persons with disabilities.
