There are 4.4 million people living with a disability in Australia which is around 18-20% of the population, of which 90% of those are deemed invisible disabilities.
Christina Ryan, CEO of Disability Leadership Institute spoke about the case for disability, equity and inclusion. Christina said “We see things that aren’t necessarily seen by others. We know this – diverse perspectives, different people bring different things to the conversation. That’s why diversity actually helps us. It’s about faster problem solving, more engaged teams…we’re back to our productivity. We’re back to not just increasing the productivity of organisations but of the Australian economy and we know that’s been slipping over the last decade or two.”
Thank you to our speakers Christina Ryan, Katie Wyatt GAICD, Head of Culture and Inclusion at Coles Group, Hilary Thorpe, Head of Legal – Corporate at AGL and Chris Newton, Founder of Stakeholder Capital for this insightful and important discussion!
