The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), provides funding, information, connections and support to people with disability who meet the NDIS eligibility criteria, so they can live their life to the fullest. The funding received by eligible NDIS participants helps them to purchase a range of NDIS supports and services based on their individual support needs. This can include booking an NDIS support worker, to assist the participant to live independently and achieve their goals. Learn more about how to become a disability support worker.
If employed by an agency, a disability support worker supporting an NDIS-funded client may be covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2020 (also referred to as the ‘SCHADS Award’). The SCHADS Award includes NDIS support worker pay rates, and covers how support workers are generally paid in the social and community services sector, unless they work under a different award (for example, support workers covered by the Aged Care Award).
