New accreditation requirements for private dental practices: navigating the transition
Starting 1 May 2024, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) implemented new accreditation requirements for private ...
The demand for disability services and providers is soaring as more and more individuals require support. This increasing demand is putting an immense strain on an already remarkable sector that manages to accomplish extraordinary things with limited resources.
Key challenges
One of the key challenges faced by support workers is managing high workloads with limited resources. Many support workers are responsible for a large number of clients and are expected to provide a wide range of services with a limited budget.
At 30 September 2020, the NDIS was supporting over 410 000 people with permanent disability to access services and supports. And the number of participants is expected to grow. It is estimated that the workforce will need to grow by approximately 90 000 full time equivalent staff over the next four to five years.
However, attracting and retaining a suitably skilled, qualified workforce is proving a challenging endeavour, as the sector is increasingly seen as overworked, underpaid, undervalued and poorly trained.
