Australian Disability Network

OUR VISION A disability confident Australia. OUR PURPOSE To build employer capability and be the employer voice to government, industry and community to achieve the inclusion of people with disability. OUR VALUES Collaborative - We actively participate, we actively listen, and we proactively seek out and share information. Open - We have courageous conversations, say when we need help and communicate authentically and respectfully. Flexible - We explore new ways of doing things, we learn from experience, and we adapt to changing circumstances. Ambitious - We celebrate successes, demonstrate respect, accessibility and inclusion at all times and we actively strive to maximise AND’s impact. The Australian Disability Network (ADN) is a not for profit organisation funded by its members to take a leadership role in advancing the equitable inclusion of people with disability in all aspects of business. We assist our members to reap the business benefits of employing people with disability, and welcoming customers with disability. We are not an employment agency and do not find jobs for people with disability - we work on the employer-side to improve internal systems and procedures to ensure they are accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Approximately 20% of the Australian population has a disability - that's one in every five people in Australia. Ensuring your organisation is disability confident isn't just the "right thing to do"- it also makes very good business sense. Through the delivery of unique products and services, we assist organisations to build skills and confidence in relation to people with disability as employees, customers and other stakeholders. Disability inclusion makes good business sense. This is evident from our own success. We came 2nd in the 2023 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list - Government, Education and Not-for-Profit category.
