Annual Report
2019
NDS's Annual Report for 2019 highlights NDS’s work to support its members during a year of new challenges and opportunities.
NDS has worked hard to influence the design and implementation of reforms, keep members informed about the changing policy landscape, and provide access to practical resources.
This year, we ran a Federal Election campaign to keep the NDIS on track; established a Royal Commission Hub and resources to keep members up-to-date on the Disability Royal Commission; influenced a complex policy environment including the NDIA’s Annual Price Review; represented our ADE members before the Fair Work Commission on the review of the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry (SCHADS) and Supported Employment Services (SES) Awards; supported Disability Employment Services (DES) through a turbulent transition to an open market environment; and held a range of successful information forums and conferences.
