Disability support and workers

The National Disability Insurance Scheme purports to support a better life听for hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities, their听families and carers.听Graham Matthews, Steve Warren, Terry Townsend and Lisa Macdonald argue for a needs-driven scheme.

Privatisation will reduce service quality for people with a disability and make job security and wages and conditions less certain for disability workers. Before being elected, Premier Daniel Andrews promised he would not contract out public sector disability services.
