Disability is not the problem of the individual, it is a result of the mismatch between the individual and their environment… A person with a disability can go through a whole day not really thinking about the disability, if their environment is structured in a way that responds to their needs.
- Dr George Taleporos, JobAccess 2012
On 28/6/2018 the Disability Inclusion Act 2018 was proclaimed. The Act requires the integration of people with a disability into mainstream society. In order to achieve this, organisations will need to assess their cultural fitness in terms of Access and Inclusion. There are currently Commonwealth government funded resources available to assist organisations to become disability friendly. A consultant from Bonros Pty Ltd can work alongside your organisation to review your organisations cultural fitness in terms of being disability friendly. This will support compliance with the Disability Inclusion Act 2018 and the United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with a disability.
