Employment isn't just money in the bank: it's a social connection, recognition for your talent and hard work, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Dr Gary Allen is the founder of Enabled.VIP, a business incubator built around the needs of aspiring entrepreneurs with disability. 

He knows a thing or two about business: his research ethics consultancy has worked around the world including contracts in far flung places like Lithuania and Kazakhstan. 

Dr Allen says Australia has some catching up to do when it comes to people with disability’s involvement in employment and entrepreneurship.
