Northern Territory Public Sector EmployAbility Strategy 2024-2027

The EmployAbility Strategy 2018-2022 was developed to improve disability employment outcomes in the Northern Territory Public Sector (NTPS). The strategy has now concluded, and the Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment (OCPE) is in the process of finalising a draft NTPS EmployAbility Strategy 2024-2027.

The draft NTPS EmployAbility Strategy 2024-2027 has been developed in consideration and reflects recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability. To address the recommendations, meet the dynamic needs of the NTPS and drive continuous improvement, the Strategy aims to increase disability employment, reshape workplace attitudes, and promote inclusivity.

The Strategy focuses on removing barriers to participation, improving disclosure rates of disabilities, and sets a target of 8% disability representation by 2027, so that the NTPS is representative of the community we serve. This strategy underscores the NTPS's commitment to equal opportunities and diversity in the workforce.
