Become a Disability-Confident Recruiter

Do you want to access the entire talent pool and encourage people with disability to apply for your roles but don’t know where to start?

Australian  Disability Network’s Disability Confident Recruiter is a status you can achieve by removing barriers in your recruitment process to make it more accessible and inclusive for people with disability.

Removing Barriers in Recruitment

You may not even know that your recruitment process or the recruiters you engage have these barriers, or what they are.

This is why our Disability Confident Recruiter is a great place to start.

It will tell you what you need to do to remove barriers. You may be surprised at how easy Disability Confident Recruiter status is to achieve.

What’s involved?

Disability Confident Recruiter consists of two phases – Discovery and Education.

1. The Discovery Phase is a review of your end-to end recruitment process. In this phase, you will be guided by us.
2. The Education phase supports your employees in building knowledge and awareness of Inclusive Recruitment through e-learn training.

To maintain Disability Confident Recruiter status, organisations are reviewed on an ongoing and annual basis.

How has this program benefited Disability Confident Recruiter organisations?

We are proud to share that the Disability Confident Recruiter has had a significantly positive impact on participating organisations and has provided important learnings and provided safe spaces for people to report having a disability.

Here are just two examples of the benefit the program has had on participating organisations:

“We’ve seen an increase in the number of people identifying as having a disability across Treasury. We have also seen an increase in candidates feeling comfortable to ask for adjustments during the recruitment process, resulting in a more flexible process and greater awareness and education for hiring managers and teams.” – NSW Treasury (2024)

“We have learned a great deal through the process both in terms of physical accessibility and many refinements in our recruitment processes which are ongoing.” – Australian Film, Television and Radio School (2024)
