Work inclusion action plan released
By NZDF. Published on 20/8/2020
A new all-of-government Action Plan aims to help ensure an inclusive economic recovery from COVID-19 where people with disabilities and health conditions can participate in employment as they want to, on an equal basis to others.
The Working Matters plan sets out actions to improve employment outcomes and wellbeing for people who experience disadvantage in labour markets due to disability or health issues (including neurological).
The three objectives are:
- Support people to steer their own employment futures
- Back people who want to work and employers with the right support
- Partner with industry to improve work opportunities for people with diverse support, access or health needs
