Overview

Indigenous men and women of working age who have a disability have lower employment rates than their non-Indigenous counterparts and experience greater labour market disadvantage.

This resource sheet reviews the evidence on the effectiveness of programs for increasing employment rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a disability. It looks at the effectiveness of both Indigenous-specific and mainstream Australian employment programs, as well as overseas programs for Indigenous people with a disability, to examine what works, what doesn't, and what further research is needed.
