Celebrating a Milestone in Inclusive Employment
We’re proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement since 2016, Optus Stadium has welcomed over 100 team members into its workforce through our valued partnership with Hospitality Disability Network WA (HDNWA).
This milestone is more than a number—it’s a powerful testament to what can be achieved when inclusion is a priority. At the heart of this success is Craig Menzies, Chairperson of HDNWA, whose visionary leadership and tireless advocacy have driven this initiative forward. His commitment to creating equal opportunities has set a benchmark for workplaces across the country.
A special shout-out goes to Phoebe Howie, whose hands-on support and dedication have been instrumental in turning this partnership into a thriving reality. Phoebe’s passion for empowering individuals with disabilities and creating pathways to meaningful employment is nothing short of inspiring.
Optus Stadium has shown what real inclusion looks like in action—proving that when businesses embrace diversity, everyone wins. By creating an environment where all individuals are valued, supported, and given the opportunity to shine, Optus Stadium is not only building a stronger team, but also transforming lives.
To Craig, Phoebe, and the incredible team at Optus Stadium—thank you. Your leadership and commitment continue to make a lasting impact, proving that an inclusive workforce is a stronger, more successful one for all.
This milestone is a powerful reminder: when organisations prioritise inclusion, they don’t just change workplaces—they change the world.
