A recent *workplace disability discrimination report from Diversity Council Australia has revealed that some people living with disabilities are choosing not to disclose their conditions for fear of being overlooked for career progression, being ostracised and/or discriminated against by colleagues and employers.
Have you experienced discrimination at work because of your disability or have you made the active decision to not share your disability information because of professional or social concerns?
Do you think that you have an obligation to disclose this aspect of your personal information regardless of its impact to your job? Or do you think that it’s no-one’s business but your own if accessibility arrangements or workplace concessions aren’t required?
We’d love to hear your thoughts.
