Neurodivergent individuals often possess unique skills that can drive innovation and problem-solving. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, approximately 1 in 5 Australians (18.3%) reported having a disability in 2018, with neurodiverse conditions such as autism and ADHD being prevalent . Furthermore, a study by Deloitte found that inclusive workplaces are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets and six times more likely to be innovative and agile . By embracing neurodiversity, organisations can improve productivity, employee engagement, and overall business performance.
