As well as members from The Disability Trust, over 100 NDIS workers, participants, carers, and family members were in attendance to rally for reforms to support workers in the disability sector. A main concern for union members is the casualisation of employment and the need for portable entitlements.
CEO Margaret Bowen spoke on the issue, saying “It is tough out there to get workers, but we won’t get workers unless we show they are valued, respected and supported”.
