Australian Disability Landscape
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.
Consequently, the demand for support workers is on the rise, and continuous skill enhancement is essential. Employment trends reveal the increasing significance of training centres for disability support workers, offering exceptional career prospects for individuals truly passionate about the field.
