🎭 Hear from Adelaide Fringe about their journey towards creating a more neuro-inclusive workplace.
Creating a neuro-inclusive workplace is not about adding extra support for a few people. It's about building a culture where everyone can thrive.

Adelaide Fringe has been embedding neuro-inclusion across recruitment, communication and workplace practices. Through the Neuro-inclusive Recruiting resources, the team has gained practical tools and new perspectives that are helping shape the way they attract, support and work alongside neurodivergent employees.

As Audrey Menz (HoneyPot and Artists & Venue Administrator) shares, "bringing neurodivergent employees into a workplace benefits absolutely everyone, including the organisation."

The case study explores how Adelaide Fringe is recognising the strengths of neurodiversity, using resources across the organisation, and fostering conversations that support more inclusive workplaces.

Previous Acting CEO Tara McLeod highlights that the impact extends well beyond recruitment:
"This tool has helped not only the HR team in recruitment but all areas of the organisation."

The team also reflects on the value of hearing directly from neurodivergent voices and how this has influenced their thinking around recruitment, communication and workplace culture. Their experience demonstrates that creating a neuro-inclusive workplace starts with being open to different perspectives, embracing the strengths of neurodiversity and taking practical steps towards inclusion.

From Referral to Employment Support: What Happens After You Sign Up?
Taking the first step towards employment support can feel like a big decision. One question we often hear is:"What happens after I submit a referral?"

With Inclusive Employment Australia, delivered by ProActiv People in partnership with Autism SA, the journey is designed to be personalised and focused on the individual.

After a referral is received, support includes:
✅ Getting to know you, your goals and employment aspirations
✅ Exploring your strengths, interests and workplace preferences
✅ Developing skills and confidence to prepare for employment
✅ Connecting with suitable employment opportunities
✅ Supporting employers to create inclusive workplaces
✅ Providing ongoing support once employment begins

Employment support doesn't stop when someone gets a job. Ongoing guidance can help individuals navigate workplace changes, build confidence and work towards sustainable employment outcomes over time.

Whether you're looking for your first job, returning to work, or seeking a role that better matches your strengths, support is available throughout the journey

Looking for local support? Services are available across Adelaide, including Christies Beach, Salisbury and Gawler.
