Performance benchmark (a): Between 2009 and 2018, there will be a five percentage point national increase in the proportion of people with disability participating in the labour force.

Indicator (a) is based on indicator (a) in the previous NDA, with one new additional measure included (measure a(4) — underemployment rate).

SDAC does not collect labour force participation information for persons in cared accommodation. Data are available for private dwelling and non-cared accommodation special dwellings only.

No new data available (2009 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers (SDAC) reported for previous cycle. 2008 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) reported for baseline).
