How inclusive are Australian businesses?
The APM Disability Diversity and Inclusivity Index (DDI Index) highlights the barriers people with disability face trying to enter and maintain employment in Australia.
Capturing attitudes, perspectives and actions, the DDI Index measures the state of Australian businesses in terms of their inclusion of people with disability.
In the 2023 DDI Index, 82 per cent of businesses want to build a more inclusive workplace environment.
The same amount also say they treat people with disability the same as those without disability, yet the research reveals people with disability still face a high amount of prejudice, particularly those with non-visible disabilities.
