Welcome to the 2016 Disability at Work Conference, ‘Framing the Future’
The challenge before us all is to boost employment opportunities for Australians with disability. While success will require action by many stakeholders, progress won’t happen unless the services which support people with disability to find, prepare for and maintain employment are sustainable and dynamic. With the expansion of the NDIS beyond its trial phase and the development of a new national disability employment framework, this is the right time to focus our minds on this challenge.
When fully implemented across Australia, the NDIS will double the resources available to support people with disability. The Scheme’s insurance principles entail an increased focus on early intervention and building the capacity and independence of people with disability over time.
This should lead to increased investment and innovation in pathways to employment and employment support. The scaling up of the Scheme from the trial phase to full implementation commences in most states in July this year.
The Federal Department of Social Services is continuing to consult with service providers, people with disability, employers and carers about designing an employment assistance framework which should increase choice for people with disability, allow scope for innovation by providers and improve employment outcomes.
With a federal election close, it will be timely to hear at the conference from the new Assistant Minister for Disability Services, the Hon. Jane Prentice MP, and Shadow Minister for Disability Reform, the Hon. Jenny Macklin MP. We want to see disability employment prominent on the policy agenda of both major parties.
The next two days will provide the opportunity for analysis of the May Federal Budget. Service design and practice are also a strong focus of many sessions at the conference.
The program has been structured to provide conference delegates with opportunities to participate in discussion. We encourage you to share your views and your own experiences of what works and doesn’t work in service provision and to network with your colleagues.
While you are in Canberra, I hope you find time to enjoy the vibrant colours of Autumn in the national capital. Canberra has a rich cultural life and hosts significant art exhibitions and events, as well as many fine restaurants.
