Mental Health and Disability Employment Strategy well received |
|
The Federal Government has received more than 300 submissions into the National Mental Health and Disability Employment Strategy, said Minister for Employment Participation, Brendan O'Connor on 2 July 2008.
"There was a clear recognition of the enormous contribution people with disability and/or mental illness make to a workplace and we need to dispel the myths that some employers have about difficulties or costs associated with employing a person with a disability," said Minister O'Connor.
Submissions to the strategy closed this week. The National Mental Health and Disability Employment Strategy is due to be released by the end of the year. UnitingCare Australia's submission will be up on our website next week. Thanks to all who participated in its development.
