Supporting businesses’ diversity and inclusion strategies to bolster employment of people with disabilities.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia (CCIWA) is proud to deliver a pilot initiative aimed at increasing employment opportunities for people with disabilities within small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
Funded by the WA Government, this Pilot developed in collaboration with the Department of Communities, aims to address the gap between existing support services and their effective engagement with SMEs.
Throughout 2024-25, CCIWA will work with employers, service providers, experts and other stakeholders to determine how we can better support SMEs to access services, funding and support to successfully attract and sustainably employ people with disability in their workplaces.
If you would like to get involved with the Pilot to provide your story, your challenges or how you found accessing support services, please contact us.
The business case for disability inclusion
The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than double the rest of the population, yet the economic benefits of hiring people with disabilities include increased profits, staff satisfaction and customer loyalty.
