Red badge: Disability Confident Recruiter 2026. Text: Inclusive Recruitment with support of Australian Disability Network.

Paxus is proud to announce that we have been recognised as a Disability Confident Recruiter by the Australian Disability Network (ADN) for the seventh year in a row. This annual accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to inclusive recruitment practices and to creating equitable opportunities for candidates of all abilities.


Disability Confident Recruiter status is awarded to organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to providing an inclusive, accessible, and fair recruitment experience for people with disability. The recognition is valid for 12 months and must be renewed annually, ensuring that participating organisations continue to review and strengthen their practices rather than treating inclusion as a one-off initiative.

At Paxus, inclusive recruitment is embedded into how we operate. As a specialist technology and professional services recruitment partner, we work with a diverse range of clients and candidates. We recognise that meaningful inclusion requires action, from how roles are advertised, to how interviews are conducted, through to how adjustments are discussed and supported throughout the recruitment process.


Paxus actively works to identify and remove unintended barriers that may prevent candidates with disabilities from fully participating in our recruitment processes. This includes ongoing review of our candidate experience, educating our Account Managers and Recruiters, and ensuring that conversations about workplace adjustments are normalised and solutions-focused.


Darran Butcher, Managing Director – Professional Services at Paxus, said the continued recognition reflects our intent and accountability.


“Our partnership with ADN provides access to guidance, frameworks, and best-practice insights that help ensure our recruitment approach continues to evolve. It also aligns with our broader commitment to supporting diverse, future-ready workforces for our clients across government and industry. We know that there is always more to do. As a Disability Confident Recruiter, we are committed to creating recruitment processes where people are assessed on capability and potential.”
