New RecruitAbility initiative launched Disability Employment Australia has been working closely with the Australian Public Service over the past two years to provide recommendations to increase the employment of people with disability within Australia’s largest employer. The APS has recently released a new initiative called RecruitAbility. RecruitAbility facilitates the progression of applicants with disability to further assessment in APS recruitment exercises, such as interview, when they opt into the scheme and meet the minimum requirements for the position. The intent of the scheme is to better support the APS employment of people with disability. It aims to build the confidence and capability of the job applicant pool, while simultaneously improving the ability of selection panel members to assess the merits of applicants with disability. The following agencies are involved in the pilot: • Crimtrac; • Department of Health and Ageing; • Department of Human Services; • Department of Defence; • Australian Taxation Office; • Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations; • Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs; • Department of Immigration and Citizenship; • Attorney-General’s Department; • AusAID; • Comcare; • Fair Work Ombudsman; • Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport; • Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade; and the • Australian Public Service Commission.
