A brief for LGBTIQ+ Health Australia (LHA) — the national peak LGBTIQ+ health organisation in Australia — creating a series of illustrations and characters to act as the visual foundation for a project called The EmployableQ Disability Employment Inclusion Toolkit.
Funded by the NDIS, the EmployableQ Toolkit is an educational resource directed at employers to promote the hiring of LGBTIQ+ people with disability, in addition to providing guidance in establishing a safe and inclusive environment.
The toolkit was presented in an evidence hearing before the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.
Deliverables
16 Illustrations, with 4 key reoccurring characters authentically representing the diversity of LGBTIQ+ people with disability.
The illustrations also needed to reflect the 4 themes of the toolkit: creating a culture of inclusion, feeling safe in the workplace , accessible recruitment and access and adjustments at work.
