Planning for Workplace Diversity
Plan your workforce with us
We work with employers of all sizes and from all sectors to enhance their workforce by connecting them with people living with disability, injury, illness and those looking for extra support to find work.
atWork Australia is one of the country’s largest providers of Disability Employment Services (DES), and Workforce Australia. Connecting business and people so they both can thrive and supporting employers to find the right people to keep their business moving.
We support businesses to increase their awareness and understanding of inclusive recruitment planning, allowing them to access a broader talent pool of job-ready candidates and see the benefits to their productivity and bottom line by employing a diverse workforce.
Additional supports
Everyone has valuable contributions to make to workplaces and the wider community, but their capacity to do so can be limited by the perceptions or actions of others.
atWork Australia is pleased to run a free Diversity Webinar Series to enhance awareness and knowledge of disability and inclusion in the workplace.
