The 6 strategic priorities of the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities are to:
- build skills, capacity and independence
- provide bridges and supports into work
- make work pay
- promote job retention and re-entry to work
- provide co-ordinated and seamless support
- engage employers
The government has already taken a number of key decisions as recommended in the strategy:
- the public service employment target of people with disabilities will be increased on a phased basis as set out in the strategy from 3% to 6%
- special public service competitions for people with disabilities will be arranged and we will open up alternative recruitment channels for people with disabilities
