Capacity. Awareness. Performance. Excellence 

At CAPE Ability Network, our goal is to support you and your employees to offer inclusive, accessible and educated service and products to those living with disability.  

CAPE Ability Network is a community based project offering opportunity and training to raise awareness of disability support, in small to medium enterprises.   

There are large corporate businesses, NFP and disability provider services that are recognised and funded nationally; however, often small business, volunteers and hobby level business, are overlooked when it comes to training and recognition. 

Our goal is to celebrate theses smaller businesses.  

Our goal is to celebrate YOU.  

At CAPE Ability Network we have two company goals:  

1. To help people with disability connect with small business owners through network meetings to assist them gain business knowledge confidence and opportunity. We believe people living with disability have the potential to achieve their dreams of being business owners and/or obtaining employment in mainstream small business roles. 

2. To work with small business owners in creating best practices and inclusive workplaces, for staff and patrons to be welcomed regardless of ability.  To encourage small business owners to employ staff who have disability and to connect them with companies and platforms to achieve a more inclusive team.  

CAPE Ability Network is not an employment or training agency, but rather a community network made up of small business owners, local community members and people with disability. The network will be based on annual memberships, and we will host regular meetings with keynote speakers, training ideas, special guests, panels and feedback Q and A sessions; to improve the connections between disability communities and small business.
