Description: Australia’s top brands working towards increased representation, inclusion and accessibility in marketing and communications for people with disability.
Nearly 20% of Australians have a visible or non-visible disability*, yet only 1% of ads include them**. Shift 20 Initiative is a coalition of the nation’s top brands working towards increased representation, inclusion and accessibility in marketing and communications. We believe that together, our industry can help shift the perception of what disability is and what it can be – creating a more inclusive Australia, for everyone.
The following framework of 4 core principles has been developed to guide marketers, industry professionals and business leaders in applying best practice within their own organisations, helping us to lead the change.
