‘The minute I mention disability, the attitude changes’

Sydneysider Zoe Brissett was born with cerebral palsy and a hearing impairment and as a result is shunned by employers who are yet to see employees with a disability as an attribute.

In a bid to evade unnecessary judgement Ms Brissett avoids mentioning her disability until the job interview, reported The Sydney Morning Herald.

‘It comes down to the lack of understanding from employers. Many of them don’t see the person, they see the disability,’ Ms Brissett said.
