IncludeAbility.gov.au – is a website designed to promote meaningful employment opportunities for Australians with disability. IncludeAbility is championed by the Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Ben Gauntlett.

The IncludeAbility website is part of the Australian Human Rights Commission’s broader IncludeAbility initiative developed to champion employment for people with disabilities by improving employment pathways, promoting access and inclusion, and changing the landscape for people with disabilities in the workplace. It aims to close the gap in the workforce between people with disability and those without disability.
