  • Increase the attraction and retention rates for people with disability
  • Improve career opportunities in the NTPS for people with disability
  • Raise awareness of the value that people with disability may bring to the workplace and increase disability confidence
  • Create a workforce that better reflects the diversity of the community it serves.

The strategy assists all agencies in understanding issues that may  arise when employing people with disability, and helps them develop strategies to assist people with disability to succeed in their work.

The strategy also commits to action through the Cross-agency Implementation Plan 2009-2012. Progress against the key actions under the implementation plan is reported in the annual State of the Service report.
