Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Building inclusive, empowered workplaces where every mind matters. This course explores how neurodiversity enriches teams and drives innovation when supported with empathy, understanding, and practical inclusion strategies.

The short answer

Neurodiversity in the Workplace training is for everyone in scope in Australia. There is no single instrument behind it; it is treated as good practice. It runs online in about 35 to 40 minutes. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

  • How you can foster an inclusive work environment that accommodates neurodivergent employees and highlight their perspectives.
  • The barriers faced by neurodivergent employees and how they may be and how they may be supported, particularly in neurotypical-dominated environments.
  • That neurodivergent traits may be non-apparent or ‘invisible to others’.

How it is delivered

  • Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.

Two ways to run it

  • Your policies, your scenarios

    We rebuild “Neurodiversity in the Workplace” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

    Build a custom version
  • Ready to run as it is

    Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

    Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

Choosing an LMS

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.

For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

We may receive a commission if you sign up to an LMS we recommend. It does not change what we recommend.
