Hotel Etico will be Australia’s first hotel staffed by hospitality trainees with intellectual disabilities and industry professionals. Guests of the hotel will not only enjoy an authentic holiday experience, they will also be contributing to a movement breaking down barriers preventing people with intellectual disabilities from achieving their full potential. This will be accomplished through an integrated program of on-the-job vocational training, coaching in capacity building and carer support to facilitate a pathway to open employment and improved independent living and social skills.
