Did you know that 4 million Australians (18.5% of our population) have a disability, with 1.25 million having a profound disability?
People with a disability are Australia’s largest minority and unfortunately nearly one in two people with a disability live in poverty. Australia ranks 21 out of 29 OECD countries in employment for people with disabilities. These are not stats to be proud of.

The actions of a corporation impact the community in a host of ways, even if not all members of that community choose to directly transact or interact with that corporation. Taking up the new role of Chief Sustainability Officer at Telstra, this is something I have been thinking about recently.
