Social services minister Amanda Rishworth said Australians living with disability 'deserve the best possible service' to help them find work.
Minister for Families and Social Services Amanda Rishworth says 15,550 Australians living with disability will be transitioned to more suitable close-to-home services, giving them the best opportunity to obtain sustainable and meaningful work.the government's September Jobs and Skills SummitMs Rishworth says assessing the performance of DES providers means only the most effective will continue to receive Commonwealth funding.
"It is vital that funding is directed to organisations who have proven they are delivering the best support to participants." The inquiry was told some providers were not achieving outcomes, with some job placements ending abruptly or only lasting the duration of government subsidies. "Evidence at the royal commission showed that for some time poorly performing DES providers seemed to be more interested in collecting government payments rather than finding good long-term jobs for their clients," he said.
