the group. Derogatory and insensitive terms impact on a person’s sense of security and wellbeing.
What’s the difference between the terms – “Person with a disability” and “disabled person”?

Issues of Concern – Satisfaction of Needs for the Disabled

Adequate Standard of Living:

choices/ lower workforce participation. This may affect the healthier food choices as food
preparation may be limited thus leading to a fast food / easily processed diet.

Of the five main disability groups, the most common in 2009 was physical disability, which affected
nearly three quarters (71%) of working-age people with disability. This was much higher than the
proportion with sensory and speech disability (21%) or psychological disability (17%). People can be
affected by more than one type of disability and therefore be classified into one or more disability
groups.
The type of disability that an individual has can affect their likelihood of participating in the labour
market. People with sensory or speech impairment had the best labour market outcomes with a
participation rate of 54% and an unemployment rate of 7.0%, while people whose disability was
psychological had the lowest participation rate (29%), and the highest unemployment rate (19%).

People with sensory or speech impairment may be able to benefit from assistive technologies but this
is not the case for people with psychological disability such as mental illness. People with mental illness
may experience disruption to their work attendance and career due to the episodic nature of their
disability. (ABS 1993-2009)
