Understanding Disability in Australia
Some individuals with disabilities rely on assistance from unqualified family or friends who frequently offer their services for free, potentially leading to burnout. Around 10.8% of Australians, or roughly 2.65 million people, act as carers. While commendable, this approach may be untenable in the long run and might not provide the required support.
Therefore, the growing necessity for support workers calls for continuous skill improvement. Employment patterns indicate the ever-growing importance of disability support worker training centres, presenting outstanding career opportunities for those genuinely interested.
