Today, November 3, Apple’s support for accessibility in the workplace was recognised with the presentation of the 2025 Vision Australia Corporate Award.Part of the annual Vision Australia Awards, which honour organisations and individuals making a positive impact on the blind and low vision community, the Corporate Award was presented by Vision Australia CEO David Williamson to Apple Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, at Apple Sydney.“Apple has long had a commitment to accessibility across its product range, and that extends to accessibility in its employment practices and workplaces as well. Apple has been a great supporter of the Vision Australia Employment Services program, which has helped blind and low-vision jobseekers find employment at Apple Store locations across Australia,” said David Williamson, CEO, Vision Australia.“Apple’s consideration of accessibility in hiring and employment, providing support and accommodations for people who are blind or have low vision to find the right opportunity and, most importantly, succeed, should be applauded. This doesn’t only benefit those individuals, it creates a workforce strengthened by accessibility, where all are valued,” concluded David.The relationship between Vision Australia and Apple has been a long one, with Apple’s support of people who are blind or have low vision previously being acknowledged with a Vision Award in 2013.
