This is one of several reports from the Economic Participation and Employment Project, commissioned by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and undertaken by researchers at BSL and the Disability and Health Unit at the University of Melbourne in 2020–21. Together they provide an overview of the state of knowledge, and further evidence that driving change requires aligning policy and practices across complex domains including education and training, workplace and community settings.
