Supporting evidence-informed practice: Introducing the Centre for Inclusive Employment’s knowledge mobilisation strategy
Dr Michael Healy – Research Fellow, Knowledge Mobilisation Lead, Swinburne University

The Centre for Inclusive Employment was established in March 2025 to strengthen Australia’s Inclusive Employment Australia program by equipping providers with evidence-based resources, tools and training. In this session, the centre’s knowledge mobilisation lead will share the conceptual architecture of their knowledge mobilisation strategy alongside some early implementation experience. He will begin by describing the challenge that the centre was designed to tackle and offer a summary of key concepts in effective knowledge mobilisation based on best practices and research evidence. Then, he will summarise how the centre is organising its knowledge mobilisation activities around four high-impact goals that target practitioners and organisations at different levels: Inspire, Inform, Implement and Innovate. Each level is supported by a distinct set of resources and activities: graphical resources and social media targeting inspiration and awareness; fact sheets, evidence syntheses and practice guides to inform; practical tools, worksheets and masterclass training to support implementation; and Communities of Practice and practice excellence case studies to support innovation. Resources and tools being developed by the centre will be shared, as well as a roadmap for further development. Participants will be invited to engage directly with the centre to develop and validate tools, identifying gaps, form communities of practice and help shape a knowledge system designed to deliver better outcomes for people with disability.
