Jigsaw trainee Olivia and Jigsaw Transitions Coordinator, Michael were featured on an ABC News story on Monday 22 November by Disability Affairs report Nas Campanella.  The news story marked the start of the Royal Commission’s hearing this week on measures taken by employers and regulators to respond to systemic barriers to open employment for people with disability.

The story features Jigsaw trainee Olivia as a case study of a pathway to employment that has been successful, and the myriad of benefits to employees and employers when inclusive workplaces are created.
