The Disability Services Union
ASU Disability Services Conference 2024
21 August 2024
Today, 60 delegates from disability services across NSW and the ACT came together to discuss how to improve the sector, and end wage theft in the NDIS.
Secretary Angus McFarland spoke about the progress we've made, and our campaign to fix the SCHADS Award. Angus spoke to the delegates about our fight to end unfair wage theft and to create genuine career pathways and improve training in the sector.
Delegates heard from Bill Shorten, Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme about the government's work to fix the scheme.
Delegates participated in workshops, planning on how we can improve our sector. We planned to fight wage theft. We planned to fix our Award - fixing unfair conditions like the sleepover allowance.
We had delegates from across the disability sector and across NSW and the ACT. Together, we are united and we will do all we can to make the NDIS the best it can be.
Delegates will return to a second day tomorrow.
