PM&C has a diverse and inclusive culture that supports people to reach their potential, feel valued and are able to be themselves at work.

Demonstrated commitment

Disability commitment

Our focus on being a disability confident workplace is about ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for people with both physical and mental conditions. PM&C has an active Disability Employee Network known as the Ability Network and is supported by the PM&C Disability Executive Champion. PM&C is also a Gold Member of the Australian Network on Disability.

PM&C is committed to understanding the needs of staff who have disabilities. The fit-out design in our offices for flexible working spaces is compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act and has also applied the higher level NDIS design guidelines.

The Ability Employee Network and disability design experts were engaged to ensure the latest accessibility considerations were included in the design. Each staff member with a known disability is engaged pre and post employment to ensure their needs are met. Typically this is in consultation with our wellbeing team and/or a physiotherapist/ergonomist.

Employee diversity networks

PM&C is proud to be a member of the Diversity Council of Australia, the Australian Network on Disability, and Pride in Diversity. 

The Department has a range of networks that employees can get involved in:

Ability Network

The Ability Employee Network celebrates diversity and aims to support and empower employees with a disability to succeed in their personal and professional lives.

The Network promotes a workplace focused on inclusion and equal opportunity, providing members with a platform to break down barriers for staff with disability through innovative and transformative ideas.

It is also a channel through which PM&C can seek guidance on activities and workplace matters which impact staff with disability.
