Did you know McDonald’s is supersizing its commitment to inclusion? The fast food giant employs more than 115,000 people across its 1030 Australian restaurants and, through a new partnership with Australian Disability Network, they have worked on identifying unintended barriers to inclusive recruitment, reviewed offices and outlets to improve accessibility and provided disability confidence training to managers and teams. The result? They’ve already employed 80 new skilled employees - well exceeding the target of 25 new staff. #mcdonaldsinclusive #disabilityemployment #hireability Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g6tGt4UV

The streets of Adelaide came alive on Saturday for the 2024 National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant - and there was no better place for a birds-eye view of Santa than our offices! We spied these cute reindeer and an elf amongst the sea of staff and children peering out of our windows as the event unfolded below. We're pretty confident this gorgeous quartet will be on the big man in red's 'nice' list when 25 December rolls around (they're certainly on ours!). 🎅 🎁 #ChristmasSpirit #NationalPharmaciesChristmasPageant #MyPlanManager [Image: Four young children, dressed in red and green, with their faces painted as reindeer]

Want a secret weapon business boost for hospitality businesses? Cater to the disability community. "The disability community is so tight-knit, and if we find a venue that is truly inclusive and accessible, we will tell everybody, and there will be lines out your door." That’s the promise of South Australia’s Lily Durkin, who works in access and inclusion for JFA Purple Orange and who has a disability. SA is home to Pavely, an app launched in 2022 by the SA Government which takes on some of the mental load of researching venues that are accessible. What accessibility resources do you recommend?

Some exciting work is underway to boost employment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the disability services sector. With a $2 million grant from the Australian Research Council, a project – led entirely by Aboriginal Chief Investigators – will aim to find ways to attract and recruit more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into the disability services workforce. The project will focus on Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia and use Indigenous knowledge to create resources to make workplaces more appealing and culturally safe.
