OVERVIEW
The Federal Government will soon make decisions on a new disability employment framework which should provide increased choice for people with disability and scope for innovation by providers. Implementing this framework will require rethinking some key aspects of disability employment support.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is exploring ways to improve the current stagnant employment rate for people with disability. NDS believes there needs to be an emphasis on designing flexible, innovative supports that effectively engage employers, people with disability, service providers and government. Specifically, the framework will need to:
• provide individualised funding in a market-based environment
• support employers and create jobs
• enhance ongoing support and supported employment
• use technology creatively
The Disability at Work conference will focus on developing employment options for people with disability. It is designed for employment service providers (open and supported and social enterprises) and professionals interested in promoting a broad range of employment opportunities for people with disability.
