Disability Support at Clean Energy Regulator

The Clean Energy Regulator believes that an inclusive and diverse workforce benefits everyone – their employees, agency, and the community as a whole.  The agency is committed to workplace diversity and aims to facilitate workers active participation in a range of initiatives that support disability awareness.

Through their RecruitAbility program focusing on providing employment opportunities for people of all abilities, as well as participation in the National Disability Strategy, the Clean Energy Regulator promotes an inclusive working environment where everybody can thrive.

Through close links with the Disability Discrimination Commissioner, the Clean Energy Regulator encourages change in the way disability employment opportunities are managed. Having developed disability standards and guidelines, the Clean Energy Regulator has actively engaged with the As One: Australian Public Service Disability Employment Strategy. 

The Clean Energy Regulator strategy links in with the National Disability Strategy (NDS), which aims to improve the workforce participation of people with a disability across Australia. It has two parts:

• To change the way people think about disability, particularly in an employment setting.
• To improve the tools, systems and procedures required to create a diverse workforce.

In line with this strategy, the Clean Energy Regulator actively participate in the government’s RecruitAbility program. The program encourages the hiring and support of staff with a disability. A key part of the program is recognising the skills and contributions of people with a disability and providing reasonable workplace adjustments to allow valued contributions in a supportive environment.
