Accessible Action values and promotes the social model of disability and supports organisations to improve outcomes and increase participation for people with disability. Providing functional expertise and valuable lived experience from the perspectives of people with disability, we recognize the importance of access and inclusion in everything we do.
We will undertake a high-level review and analysis of your organisation and work closely with you to engage internal and external stakeholders to develop access plans, strategies, policies and processes to promote access and inclusion.
Accessible Action will provide tailored disability awareness training to improve access and inclusion in your organisation. We will ensure your learning outcomes provide a new perspective on the social model of disability, and shift mindsets to promote access and inclusion of people with disability in your organisation.

Founded by a person with disability for people with disability, Adapt Virtual Assistance exists to provide an inclusive and accessible platform for people with disability (and other minorities) to take control of their career prospects and learn the foundational skills in becoming a virtual assistant, and for entrepreneurs to seek trustworthy, inclusive assistance for their business.
We firmly believe that everyone deserves a safe and inclusive pathway to meaningful employment. In a country with approximately 4.4 million people who identify as disabled, where only around 39.8% of them are employed, we see an opportunity to make a positive impact.
At Adapt Virtual Assistance, we believe in fostering productive partnerships that benefit both founders and virtual assistants, creating a harmonious and efficient business environment for all involved.

Inclusif is built on case-based-learning that was originally constructed through video course modules to educate future healthcare professionals in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney (USYD). This providing students at both an Undergraduate and Master of Rehabilitation Counselling level about the day-to-day aspects of living with a debilitating condition, like epilepsy following two brain surgery procedures. It is this first-person perspective that accommodates Dr Martin Raffaele four degrees at USYD that gives the business the knowledge on what is necessary for understanding a condition like epilepsy and the benefits of building a plan for neurodiversity in a business. Developed and located at USYD, Inclusif is the step to creating great diversity, equality and inclusion into general society, which includes the workforce.
