This item is collected for people who are aged 15 years or over. Use CODE 7 for people aged under 15 years.

Participation in work is not restricted to economic activities and is defined as the ability to take actions, perform tasks and exhibit behaviours to obtain and retain paid and/or unpaid employment (including volunteering).

Participation in work is considered to be affected if a person:

  • needs their employer to provide special equipment, modify the work environment or make special arrangements, or
  • needs a support person at work, or needs ongoing assistance/supervision, or
  • receives assistance from a disability job placement service, or
  • frequently needs time off work or is unable to work full-time or at all.
