          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:08):</by>  By way of supplementary question, does the government intend to undertake a program to promote the benefits of employing people with disabilities in the workforce, particularly those who may already have qualifications but are unable to be employed due to the inaccessibility of the workforce?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:08):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. Yes, we have an active program to promote to employers particularly a government focus, with the objective of making sure we do not overlook people with disabilities. It is not just people with disabilities but also older workers, people of Aboriginal descent and other groups that often can be overlooked with employment opportunities.</text>
