NDIS Workforce Ready Project - LINK
The NDIS Workforce Ready Project is researching and developing draft models for potential professional certification for people who work in the disability sector.
Views are being sought from people across Australia, including: people with a disability; families; carers; disability workers; managers and staff from disability services; and representatives from disability organisations and governments. We want to know how people with disability, their families and service providers might recognise that a person might be ‘right for the job’.
An online survey, interviews and focus groups are being conducted until the 17 May. For more information and to link to the online survey or register your interest in focus groups and interviews see the NDIS Workforce Ready web-site at
http://ndisworkforceready.org/2013/04/have-your-say/.
The Project has been funded by the Commonwealth Government (Practical Design Fund) to help prepare for DisabilityCare Australia, the national disability insurance scheme. The project is being conducted as a collaboration between Cootharinga North Queensland, AVANA Community, Australasian Disability Professionals, and Deakin University.
