1. The Committee examined the third and fourth periodic reports of Australia (CCPR/C/AUS/99/3 and 4) at its 1855th, 1857th and 1858th meetings, held on 20 and 21 July 2000. At its 1867th meeting on 28 July 2000, the Committee adopted the following concluding observations.

This section of the Interim Report summarises the main issues raised in submissions which relate to the job search phase of employment. Those issues include:

Discussion about people with disability in the open workplace tends to focus on whether a person can find a job, rather than keep a job. While successfully obtaining a job is clearly the first step for a person seeking employment in the open workplace, it is only the first step.

The preceding chapters of this report are a summary of the main issues raised in the submissions and consultations already conducted by the Inquiry. The issues have been grouped into themes as follows:

However, as discussed in Chapter 7, the Inquiry is conscious of the need for a holistic approach to addressing the participation and employment of people with disability in the open workplace. Therefore the areas identified in this Chapter should not be taken in isolation of other approaches to the issue of employment of people with disability.

The ACTU believes that an inquiry, as a vehicle for public education, would assist to promote employment opportunities for people with disability. Additionally the inquiry would provide the opportunity to consider ways to facilitate employment participation and could therefore provide a means to report and make recommendations to Government.

At present few reliable statistics have been gathered on related issues however Council is aware through its links across the disability sector and the anecdotal evidence of its members and staff that equity is far from being served.
