At GetAboutAble, our team is comprised of 70% people with disability and we pair our collective lived experience with our industry knowledge to service the tourism and leisure industries with access and inclusion at the forefront. We strive to provide meaningful, enjoyable employment to people with disability, and pride ourselves on the unique, disability lead experience we bring to our consulting services. (We know it allows us to provide a better version of our services as we focus on improving travel and leisure opportunities for people with disability, both as consumers and employees.)

Only 53.4% of people with disability within Australia participate in the labour force (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2019, 4430.0 – Disability, Ageing and Carers, Australia 2018), which results in a large percentage of the population’s unique lived experience, skills and work ethic being untapped and unused. 

While the obvious benefits of hiring inclusively, such as increased income and better living standards for people with disability is a strong reason on its own, there are numerous added benefits to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. 

People with disability bring tangible benefits to the workplace, ranging from increased creativity to improved problem-solving and higher retention rates. Embracing the talents and perspectives of individuals with disability contributes to a more robust and successful workforce overall. Having a diverse workforce can also enhance an organisation’s understanding of diverse customer needs, allowing you to reach wider markets than before.
