Australia and South Korea have distinctively different disability legislations and policies, disability employment support systems, and directions towards sustainable development goals in disability employment. They have different cultural, social, and economic systems, infrastructure, and approaches to people with disability. The two countries stand on opposite sides of management direction for disability employment: Korea has a mandatory system, whereas Australia reinforces a voluntary system through the person-centred approach to disability support. However, both systems share the same goals of disability employment: to improve the socio-economic participation of people with disability and their quality of life. The different approaches have highlighted opportunities and barriers to developing support and services for disability employment. However, the two systems also face common challenges, such as a negative public perception and lack of understanding of disability, which significantly affect the low rate of disability employment. We should learn more about diverse approaches to disability employment to close the gaps. Join the conference Innovation in Disability Employment > “We have chosen the art on the same value that we would choose from any other artists, you know, art is art. Art does not say I am an art piece with a disability.” – Lisa Gorman Over a year in the making, Gorman and Arts Project Australia have come together to create a line showcasing the creative vibrancy inherent to both organisations. With a strong focus on artist collaborations, Gorman is an Australian fashion designer offering unique, colourful, fun and exclusive prints with local lifestyle and culture at the forefront. This conference is hosted by the South Australian Business Chamber corporate member Flinders University. |
