Happy Easter
- We hope everyone had
a happy and relaxed
Easter mini break ..
It's been a busy few months...we
welcomed Brendan to the Op Shop
team, Makayla and Jarren started
as Support Workers and new SE's,
Will, Kathleen and Ruby officially
started their employment with Willing & Able.
Our
Client Satisfaction Survey results are in.....
....and they look impressive! We have extremely high
satisfaction levels across the team, with participants and
with families and carers.
We will respond to all feedback as
soon as possible.
On 21st March, the NDIA released the new NDIS
Participant Employment Strategy
In summary they are committed to measuring
employment outcomes and the goals that are set
during the planning process. They will monitor how
participants are supported to implement their
employment supports and the tranistions to open
employment. They will also monitor satisfaction
across the employment journey - It's like we
expected it to be. Disability employment is serious
and is becomming more so. This justifies the
direction we have been heading...so far!
NDIS Annual Pricing Review
With an ambitious reform agenda set by the Disability Royal Commission
and the NDIS Review, the 2023–24 Annual Price Review (APR), comes at a
pivotal time for the sector. Some providers have reported their worst
financial year ever and without price increases that reflect the true costs of
delivering quality and safe disability supports the risk of market failure may
become a reality.
Willing and Able has recently provided a submission to this review, citing
the areas we find challenging as a business and talking about the risks we
see into the future. Our peak body, National Disability Services, is making a
case for a price uplift to support the sector through the next five-year period
of transformation.
