Approximately 1 in 8 people are neurodivergent, including those with autism, dyslexia, and other related conditions, with around 34 percent facing unemployment, as reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Recognizing the strength neurodiversity brings to the workforce, the public sector is leading the way, striving to become a model employer by tapping into untapped neurodivergent talent. Research indicates that neurodivergent employees can enhance team morale, provide keen attention to detail, approach problem-solving creatively, and exhibit increased productivity compared to their neurotypical counterparts.

In the face of traditional workplace structures, often ill-equipped to handle neurodiversity, this course targets those who collaborate with neurodivergent individuals. Offering insights into neurodivergence, the program guides managers in adapting processes, systems, and communication to uplift neurodivergent staff, fostering a safe workplace where they can thrive.
