Canberra Research Update: Disability Data at Work

Collecting disability data enables organisations to understand the mix of people in their workplace and the inclusion and exclusion experiences of employees with disability. This helps organisations make informed decisions about accessibility, monitor progress, and drive positive change that supports inclusion.

This in-person event was hosted in Canberra by the Austalian Digital Health Agency, Australian Disability Network’s CEO, Amy Whalley (she/her), unpacked findings from DCA’s joint report with the Australian Disability Network: Disability Data at Work.
