Members of the neurodivergent community are invited to have their say on the world of work through a new survey.
Diversity Council Australia (DCA), in partnership with Amaze, is asking people who identify as neurodivergent and/or have neurodivergent differences, as well as people working in diversity and inclusion, to give feedback on questions that employers could use to collect workplace data on neurodiversity.
This feedback will inform the upcoming Neurodiversity Data at Work guide, to be launched in September 2025.
The guide will offer practical advice on how to begin measuring and reporting on workforce neurodiversity respectfully, safely, and accurately.
It will support employers to measure neuroinclusion and drive positive change in their organisations.
The survey closes on Monday 23 June.
Why is this survey important?
Anyone who identifies as neurodivergent and/or having neurodivergent differences aged 18 and over, and/or individuals working in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) roles can take part in the feedback survey.
With no current publicly available guidance for collecting neurodiversity data that is shaped by the neurodivergent community itself, this initiative marks a significant step toward respectful, accurate, and meaningful workplace inclusion.
“Many organisations want to support neurodivergent staff but aren’t sure where to start — and without clear, inclusive ways to ask about neurodiversity, people often remain invisible in the data,” said David Tonge, CEO of Amaze.
“This work is about changing that. By co-designing questions with community, we’re developing tools to build trust, improve understanding, and help workplaces take more confident, informed steps toward inclusion.”
Catherine Hunter, CEO of DCA, added: “Too often, workplace practices are built in ways that can exclude neurodivergent people. Through community consultation, we hope to create guidelines that will help organisations collect data in a respectful, trusted and inclusive way so they can better meet the needs of neurodivergent people at work.”
