This 90-day project was designed to establish a Disability Workforce Hub in Northern Adelaide to support the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS will transform how disability care is delivered. A skilled, flexible workforce is required to meet expected demand from the Scheme.

The hub, which is part of the Northern Economic Plan, will build workforce capability, ensure local people are employed and help South Australian employers secure skilled and experienced people. Hub activities will include:

  • Pre-employment, orientation and transition support for new workers
  • Identifying the training employers' needs for new and existing workers
  • Career services to connect people to training and job opportunities in the disability sector
  • Supporting new businesses to deliver services in the new NDIS marketplace.
