Work should be a safe space for all. Here are three tips to help support your disabled LGBTQIA+ colleagues at work, from youth inclusion leader, Charis : ✅ Listen and try to understand the challenges that this community faces. ✅ Raise awareness of inclusion in the workplace by creating inclusive policies and providing necessary accessibility for all. ✅ Having good representation in your teams will lead to more inclusive policies and accessibility for all, improving the diversity, equity and inclusion within your organisation.

"Nothing about us without us." This isn’t just a slogan—it’s a challenge to reshape how we think about inclusion and equity. It calls for a world where people with disabilities lead the conversations that define their futures, turning inclusion into action, not just intent. Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let’s reflect on what true inclusion means: listening, learning, and breaking barriers—together. Representation matters. Engagement matters. And inclusion isn’t optional—it’s essential. How can we amplify these voices to create a future where everyone thrives?

“Why should we hire people with disabilities?” Why wouldn’t we? People with disabilities bring unique perspectives, creative solutions, and remarkable resilience to the table. Every time I hear or read this question, I am reminded of the unique strength and creativity people with disabilities bring to the workplace. People with disabilities: → Offer fresh perspectives. → Solve problems creatively. → Bring resilience and adaptability. Imagine the possibilities when your team is truly inclusive: → You foster creativity. → You boost collaboration. → You unlock new levels of success. Inclusion is essential for growth. It’s the foundation of a thriving, dynamic workplace. P.S. Got more ideas on workplace inclusion? Drop them in the comments!

🌍 Today as we celebrate International Day of People with Disability, we are reflecting on the importance of inclusivity in our workplaces. This year’s theme is ‘Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future’. With around 20 percent of Australians identifying as having a disability, it’s crucial we raise awareness and acceptance. At Zinfra, we’re committed to creating a workplace that’s inclusive, supportive and where everyone feels they can belong.

In a world that thrives on diversity, every individual brings unique strengths, perspectives, and talents to the table. Persons with disabilities are no exception. Their resilience, creativity, and determination often shine a light on what true strength looks like. Inclusion is not just about providing access; it’s about embracing the richness that each person contributes to our communities. When we create inclusive environments, we foster innovation and empathy, paving the way for a brighter future for everyone. Remember, every small effort towards inclusion can lead to monumental changes. Let us celebrate the achievements of individuals with disabilities, recognizing their potential and advocating for equal opportunities. Together, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create spaces where everyone feels valued and empowered. As we move forward, let’s carry the message that inclusion is a collective responsibility. By lifting each other up, we not only enhance our society but also enrich our own lives. Believe in the power of unity and support, and let’s work hand in hand to build a more inclusive world for all. With hope and determinations

Today, on International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD), we celebrate this year’s theme: Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future. At NeuroCog®, we believe the disabled community deserves to be seen as valuable members of society, treated with dignity and respect like anyone else. Just as we encourage self-determination and personal development for all, we see those who identify as disabled, as individuals with the same universal needs—to live, love, play, and work. Leadership is about representation, and inclusion is about creating opportunities for everyone to thrive. How can we work together to amplify the voices of people with disabilities in leadership roles?

In 2024, inclusion and equal opportunity are more important than ever. Differences in race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability make us remarkable. I criticise social media for impacting self-perception and urge self-acceptance. Drawing from my own experience with disability, I challenge the notion of being "less than" and highlight the value of individual differences. I question societal attitudes towards disability, elderly care, and material wealth, advocating for a broader appreciation of life's diversity and the strength we derive from our unique experiences. Read my story to discover why embracing our differences, pursuing our true selves, and recognising the collective potential of humanity is essential. Let's redefine what it means to live an inclusive and fulfilling life.
