The Federal Government will tour the nation to gather input for a new Disability Employment Framework.

The government announced the launch of the national public consultation to inform development of its new system for helping people with disabilities find work.

A series of forums will be held around Australia to better understand what is and is not working in current disability employment programmes, and what the Government can do to improve employment rates.

An issues paper has been released to encourage discussion about the current approach and the best ways to support people with disability to find long-term, meaningful employment.

The issues paper is accessible here.
