Your EmployAbility Resource Centre

Our BEC program is written and delivered by our staff with lived experience with physical disabilities. We offer advice and guidance from a personal perspective with the aim to help educate your staff in a real, honest and open discussion. 

Specialised Disability Recruitment Support: Assistance with recruiting individuals with disabilities to foster true inclusivity. 

Disability Inclusion Status Check (DISC): An initial assessment to understand your current disability inclusion status. 

Disability Inclusion Action Plan: A personalised plan outlining steps to enhance inclusivity. 

Tailored Training Program & Workshops: Training sessions led by mentors with lived experience of disability. 

You have no legal obligation to tell your prospective employer that you have a disability.  

During the early stages of the job application process, the focus on the resume and the cover letter should be on matching your skills and experience to the job advertised. 

 
If your disability does not affect your ability to perform the core function of the role, it is not necessary at this stage to disclose it. You may still feel that it is necessary to disclose the disability if: 

• It is relevant to perform the role 
• You are likely to need workplace adjustments to perform the role 
• You think the employer is disability friendly and you feel comfortable disclosing. 

If you do feel comfortable disclosing your disability pre interview, it will provide you with an excellent opportunity to check accessibility and then have a top line discussion about reasonable adjustments that you may require to eliminate any elements of doubt or concern.
