THE Australian Meat Processor Corporation has reached a significant milestone in its autism employment pilot, with the first neuro-inclusion training session being delivered to JBS Dinmore’s HR and Recruitment team.

The Enhancing the Food Production Workforce with Neuro-Inclusion Pilot is an industry-first for red meat processing, aiming to connect red meat businesses with capable employees and to promote a more inclusive, productive workforce. The project is being run in partnership with neurodiversity employment specialists Team Cohesion.

Delivery of the first training session marks the pilot’s first extension activity, following a year of national consultation and industry engagement that identified both the challenges and clear opportunities to improve employment outcomes for autistic individuals in the red meat processing industry.

The red meat processing industry offers diverse roles to match Autistic strengths and skills, including fields like:

• Quality control & packaging
• IT and tech roles
• Data collection and analysis
• Machine operation & maintenance support
• Animal Care
• Cafateria and laundry roles

The research revealed overwhelming employer appetite for more inclusive hiring practices and strong support for a coordinated industry-wide approach.

AMPC funded phase-one of the project, which involved developing educational resources, workforce capability tools, and establishing a dedicated industry working group.

AMPC Program Manager People and Culture, Amanda Carter said with this foundation in place, phase two was currently being co-designed for on-the-ground delivery in 2026.

JBS Dinmore is one of four pilot sites participating in the program across south-east Queensland. Its involvement in the first training session is helping equip recruitment teams with practical tools to identify and remove barriers within their hiring processes.

Team Cohesion Neurodiversity Consultant & Employment Specialist, Sharon Whip said the training emphasised building capability and confidence, deepening understanding of neurodiversity, applying inclusive recruitment practices, offering alternative assessment methods, and designing structured pathways that support all applicants – not just neurodivergent ones. JBS Dinmore’s engagement with the pilot and participation in the first training session signal more than just another upskilling exercise; they reflect a shift in the industry’s mindset.”

“With strong industry leadership, this pilot has the potential to show that neuro-inclusive employment isn’t just theoretical and create a scalable, sustainable model for workforce innovation across Australia’s agriculture sector.”

JBS Australia General Manager HR, Northern, Kimberley Melrose said JBS was honoured to be part of the industry-first initiative.

“We believe every person brings unique strengths to the table. Through this program, we are looking at opportunities that benefit individuals, businesses, and the entire sector,” she said.

“The pilot is not about meeting a milestone, it’s about shaping a more innovative, resilient industry where every individual has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.”

About This Program

Team Cohesion has partnered with the Australian Red Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) to design and deliver and Autism Employment Program within the Red Meat Processing Industry.

The Enhancing the Food Production Workforce Autism Employment Pilot addresses labour shortages in red meat processing by developing an inclusive employment model for Autistic job seekers. With an unemployment rate of 34pc (Amaze, 2019), Autistic individuals remain underrepresented in employment despite their valuable skills. Research into retention statistics with the red meat processing sector identified that 61pc of employees do not maintain their employment to the one-year milestone.
