The research team at UNSW Social Policy Research Centre wrote the report about the NDIS workforce. The information comes from a national survey of disability workers which was co-designed by the UNSW research team and the unions representing disability workers, the Health Services Union, Australian Services Union and United Workers Union.

A total of 2,341 disability workers took part in the online survey during March 2020. As a result, the survey findings accurately reflect the perspectives and experiences of disability workers themselves. The key findings include:

• Perceptions of the NDIS
• Working time arrangements
• Staffing levels and service quality
• Remuneration and income insecurity
• Job security
• Supervision and support
• Training
• Online platforms
• Safety and reporting issues
