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.

Did you know carers, many of whom also undertake paid work, contribute nearly $80 billion annually to the Australian economy? With one in eight Australians known to be a carer, almost every workplace includes people caring for parents, siblings, or other family members. That’s why it’s important to get behind @NationalCarersWeek, to celebrate and raise awareness about the vital role carers play in enriching lives and providing essential support. #NationalCarersWeek #SupportCarers #LinkedInCommunity For more information on what support is available for carers visithttps://lnkd.in/gVd7m_xh

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) could be a game-changer for people with intellectual disability, helping them to develop practical skills faster and more independently. Researchers from the University of South Australia and UNSW Sydney worked with adults with intellectual disability to study the impact of immersive VR on training in tasks like waste separation and gardening, and discovered those wearing VR headsets outperformed their peers who used tablet devices. The study not only shows the capacity building potential of immersive VR, but also adds another tool to the kit of NDIS providers looking to revolutionise the delivery of effective and engaging training programs. #VirtualReality #LifeSkills #IntellectualDisability #InnovativeTraining #FutureTech #InclusionMatters More information can be found at: https://lnkd.in/gRZp8S63
