22.01.2022 Four million Australians experience mental illness every year and it impacts nearly all families. With 690,000 experiencing severe mental illness, it is the l...argest cause of disability, yet less than 10 per cent can access the NDIS.

20.01.2022 When you overlook people with disability in the recruitment process, you could easily miss out on finding the best person for the job. You also risk cutting you...r organisation off from 20 per cent of people in Australia, and that just doesnt make good business sense. On the contrary, there is plenty of evidence to suggest when businesses commit to genuine inclusion, it does work.

17.01.2022 Coronavirus hey... serious stuff! This thing is scary... we are afraid of what it can do to us physically... like even take us and people we love out. But it's easy to miss the fact that this is messing with our mental health right here and right now!... Are you prone to fight, flee or freeze when you feel seriously threatened? This situation has us all on the edge... and that's not a good place to be... It can tip any one of us over with barely a push.... hysteria is a hazard to be avoided.. At KP we are recognizing that we all need to be mindful that we're all on edge.... watch out for each other... considerate that we all react differently and look after each other with empathy and tolerance.... Be safe y'all, and look after each other... stay positive .....

12.01.2022 Stereotypes about the implications of disability on workplace productivity, concerns on the part of employers about the cost of workplace accommodations, consc...ious and unconscious bias on the part of both employers and colleagues together, can marginalise the attachment of people with disability from the workforce." https://probonoaustralia.com.au//new-research-looks-impr/ See more

12.01.2022 "Auslan is used by thousands of people across Australia and while it is deeply rooted in the Australian deaf community, it is also an Australian language whic...h means its your language," chief executive Leonie Jackson said. "We have been teaching Auslan for over 30 years and have seen first-hand the inclusion that it creates, from the barista that can have a chat with his regular deaf customer to the warehouse team that learnt Auslan so they could better communicate with their deaf colleague. "Deaf people have much to contribute to the community the more people that learn Auslan, the more inclusive our society will be for deaf people." http://www.abc.net.au//should-auslan-signing-be-t/10004138

03.01.2022 DISABLED EMPLOYMENT I am 35 and have an undergraduate degree in Visual Arts, a Masters degree in Art Administration and a Postgraduate Diploma in Politics and ...Public Policy. I have applied for a graduate position with Commonwealth departments but was unsuccessful. I applied for a graduate position with the NDIA and thought, as a disabled person, I might have stood a chance there. I received no feedback at all. I have come to the realisation that I may never get a job. What should be done to encourage employers, agencies and government departments to give physically disabled people a fair go? What do you think?
