It is estimated that 1 in 8 people are neurodivergent (this includes people who are autistic, dyslexic and on the spectrum) with about 34 percent of the community unemployed, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

However, organisations are recognising the strength that neurodiversity brings to the workforce, with the public sector also embracing neurodivergent staff to solve problems and enhance their ranks.

Research indicates that companies with inclusive and diverse cultures are more likely to achieve financial targets, perform at higher levels, and display innovation and agility. Neurodivergent employees, in particular, contribute to improved team morale, heightened attention to detail, creative problem-solving approaches, and increased productivity compared to neurotypical employees.

The training is designed for individuals who work with, manage, or collaborate with neurodivergent individuals in workplaces that may not be well-equipped to handle neurodiversity. It offers insights into neurodivergence and equips managers with adaptable processes, systems, and communication to uplift neurodivergent staff.
