'Meet the Experts' IncludeAbility Video Campaign The IncludeAbility project’s new video ‘Meet the Experts’ showcases the skills, knowledge and experience that Australians with disability bring to their workplaces.
By featuring ten real employees with lived experience of a variety of disabilities, ‘Meet the Experts’ breaks down attitudinal barriers and misconceptions around employment opportunities for Australians with disability. Particular attention was given to the inclusive production of the video: people with disability worked both behind the camera and in front of it.
The Australian Human Rights Commission welcomes the opportunity to participate in the National Summit for Women’s Safety and to contribute to the development of Australia’s second National Plan on the Prevention of Violence against Women and their Children. Violence is a human rights issue that needs urgent and coordinated action.
