Disability Support at Leidos Australia

Leidos recognises the diverse community that includes people who identify as having a disability, a mental health condition or who are neurodiverse

Leidos strives to ensure all feel supported and included and are able to reach their potential. 

Leidos’ A4AU (Allies and Action for Accessibility and Abilities) Advocacy Group provides a supportive community that informs and fosters an inclusive environment of acceptance and respect. A4AU supports a culture that welcomes and retains people with differing abilities, working to improve accessibility, and enhanced inclusion for all team members. This is also a forum for carers of people with different abilities to connect and share experiences. 

Leidos provides support for mental wellbeing, including access for team members and their family members to their Employee Assistance Program

Leidos marks ‘R U OK Day’ each year and offers education sessions on mental health and wellbeing, including inviting guest speakers to share their lived experiences.

Leidos has invested in the mindfulness and wellbeing Headspace app, providing all team members with a free subscription.

The Leidos Defence and Emergency Services Alliance Group (DESAG) also places a strong emphasis on mental wellbeing and provides support to team members who are veterans

In 2021, Leidos delivered its first ‘Autism@work’ program in which the company harnessed the superpowers often associated with autism by matching five talented autistic candidates to roles within Leidos. As part of the program, Leidos ran Autism Awareness sessions and continues to focus on educating team members and ensuring they provide an inclusive environment for autistic team members.
