The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has turned the disability support workforce on its head. By increasing funding, consumer control and the number of services available, the NDIS has expanded competition in the industry, sparking a period of immense growth.
However, according to the 2017 State of the Disability Sector report, only 43 per cent of disability service providers expect to meet demand in 2018, due in part to an inability to recruit the workers they need or to provide additional services within the scheme’s lean price points.
This eBook provides some context around the recent changes to the workforce profile, as well as some practical suggestions on how to adapt your recruitment approach to attract and retain a high-quality support team.
