• From January 2014 to January 2015, unemployment rose in Australia.
(Australian Bureau of statistics)
• Gender pay gap is at seventeen percent according to the workplace gender
equality centre (2014)
• Women represented just 28 per cent, or 169,500, of Australia’s information
and communication technology workforce in 2013, according to the
Australian Computer Society.
• Twenty percent of Australians have a disability, surprisingly of that
percentage those with physical, rather than mental disabilities, enter the
workforce. (Australian Human Rights Commission)
• Deakin University discovered that workers with disabilities file for few sick
leaves and remain working for a company longer than those without, but this
remains unknown to many business owners. (G. Taleporos: 2014)
• “Australia ranks 21st out of 29 in employment participation rates for people
with a disability.” (ABS: 2014)

deliver a strategic advantage, when you need it most.
We use both unique and traditional approaches to
discover leaders of excellence within niche sectors.
Our online methods include online advertising and

professional social networking events, trade shows and
industry association events.

businesses. We also handle the accounts of companies
