Kmart Australia has included two models with a disability in their latest catalogue.
It’s the first time models with a disability had been used in their catalogue with a representative for Kmart telling Buzzfeed, “This is not a new focus for Kmart Australia, but an extension of our broader and very important focus on improving diversity within our business and truly representing our team, customers and communities that we operate in and are part of.”
People have taken to Kmart’s Facebook page to praise them on their decision:

Bronwyn, the mother of 11-year-old model Cooper, also told Buzzfeed her son has wanted to model for a long time.
“They spoke to Cooper just as they would any other 11-year-old. He felt extremely welcome and proud,” she said.
“He still couldn’t really believe he was in the catalogue! He was so excited to see himself represent Kmart and represent kids who have a disability. He is very proud of who he is including the fact he has Cerebral Palsy.”
