Disability

We are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment that actively fosters respect, inclusion and opportunities for all employees.

Our aim is to provide people with disabilities, their families and friends resources to support employment, professional development and leadership opportunities, and to share information that enables them to be actively engaged in promoting these opportunities.

Disability is one of our five key diversity pillars and areas focused on include:

• developing, leading and influencing disability recognition and inclusive culture
• working towards becoming an industry leading employer for disability inclusion.

Governance 

Through the Inclusion and Diversity Council and our employee resources group (DisABILITY), we are committed to providing support to all employees and driving the goals that will create further inclusion and employee diversity.
