Neuroinclusion Program

The Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) has launched the Neuroinclusion Program to improve access to meaningful APS careers for neurodivergent Australians.

In partnership with Employ for Ability, IHACPA provides a neuroinclusive recruitment and onboarding pathway that values diversity of thought, fosters belonging, and removes barriers to employment.

The program offers analyst roles across IHACPA’s key operational and policy areas and:

• provides a supported career pathway into the Australian Public Service (APS) for individuals with a clinically verified neurodivergent diagnosis, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or other recognised neurodivergent conditions
• demonstrates the individual and organisational benefits of employing neurodivergent people through inclusive and evidence-based recruitment practices
• showcases the distinct strengths, skills, and perspectives neurodivergent individuals bring to the workplace
• supports IHACPA’s ongoing commitment to increasing the representation of people with disability within the APS workforce
• advances IHACPA’s vision of an equitable, inclusive health and aged care system informed by diverse lived experience.

The current round of recruitment for Level 5 Analysts at IHACPA in Sydney has now concluded and is no longer accepting applications.

All applications are currently being assessed for progression in this year’s program. Outcome notifications will be communicated directly to applicants via the Department of Health (IHACPA) recruitment process.

We appreciate the strong interest in this round and the time taken by all applicants to be part of the process.
