The National Disability Employment Framework Taskforce is now accepting feedback on its Round 2 discussion paper. The consultation will close on 7th December. The new framework is intended to improve employment outcomes for people with disability.
The Discussion Paper forms the basis for this second round of consultation about a new National Disability Employment Framework. The Discussion Paper outlines a case for changing disability employment services and describes how four key areas of disability employment policy may work in the future. These four areas are:
- Individualised funding and market-based service provision;
- Better support for employers and jobs creation;
- Improved ongoing support and supported employment; and
- Better use of new technology in the creation of a virtual marketplace

From where I sit now, it is hard to believe ...
