‘Pull your finger out Australia, it’s not that bloody hard!’ That’s what our CEO, Geoffrey Smith quipped (he was probably in shock!) when he won the 2025 Queensland Australian of the Year, as part of the Australian of the Year Awards, in reference to how anyone can bring on autistic (and other #Neurodivergent) people who face significant employment barriers. This is not just a social issue, but an economic one. #Australia could add $43 billion to the economy EVERY YEAR if the appalling 34% autistic unemployment rate was reduced by a third! Considering that 20% of the population is neurodivergent (#Autism, #ADHD, #Dyslexia, etc), it’s inevitable that you have neurodivergent team members and don’t know about it. If you’re unsure where to begin, please don't hesitate to contact us. We’ve helped many organisations start their #Neurodiversity journey.

The Brisbane City Council is the local government body responsible for administering the City of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. It is the largest local government in Australia, serving over 1.3 million people. Council engaged our young #Neurodivergent #Data analysts to update several critical datasets, enabling more effective emergency responses in the event of natural disasters. Having updated and accurate data was essential to mitigate and reduce natural disaster risks in the future and minimise impacts on people, infrastructure and the environment. In this case study, you’ll learn how Brisbane City Council has achieved its data goals while creating social impact for 11 young neurodivergent adults from its supply chain, putting the ‘Social’ into ESG.

Considering that 20% of the population is #Neurodivergent (e.g. #Autism, #ADHD, #Dyslexia, #Dyspraxia), it is inevitable that many people in your organisation belong to the ‘world’s biggest minority group’ – that’s over five million Australians, and over 1.6 billion people worldwide. In our latest blog post, our Learning and Development Manager, Brendon Eglinton, shares his insights on how our Neurodiversity Training Program (https://lnkd.in/ghC2fSQJ) has helped more workplaces become neuroinclusive by implementing our lived experience tips and tricks, which are all low or no-cost. We’ve even had people in the audience disclose their #Neurodivergence for the very first time because they were in a safe environment! 'A common thread is the realisation that neurodiversity in the workplace is not that bloody hard! Many begin unaware or hold preconceptions about autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodivergent elements. Sharing who we are helps participants personalise and relate during the learning experience.'
