Join Australian Paralympic legend and APM Ambassador Ellie Cole as she explores disability and inclusion in the workplace.

In a special limited-run series, Ellie sits down with team members from across APM to discuss how their own experience of disability helps them make a difference for other people.

She also speaks with some of APM's people and partners about the impact of hiring employees with disability, with advice for how employers can support inclusion and diversity in their business.

Ellie Cole's Couch is produced by APM.
