EmployAbility Community of Practice
The EmployAbility Community of Practice (EACoP) is a new whole‑of‑sector advisory network established under the updated EmployAbility Strategy Governance Framework.
EACoP brings together practitioners, HR specialists, inclusion leads and agency representatives to strengthen disability employment capability across the NTPS.
Members work together to share knowledge, support implementation and promote consistent approaches to disability employment and workplace adjustments.
The new EmployAbility Governance framework now includes 3 aligned governance layers:
- EmployAbility Steering Committee – provides strategic oversight, monitors progress and ensures alignment with NT Government disability reform priorities.
- DEI Strategic Partners Working Group – approves initiatives, endorses tools and processes, and provides governance direction for sector‑wide implementation.
- EACoP – provides practical implementation support, shares expertise and strengthens capability across agencies.
