Down Syndrome Australia joins call for the abolition of the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool

News from Down Syndrome Australia:

Down Syndrome Australia has joined with other national peak consumer and advocacy

organisations, including the National Council on Intellectual Disability and the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, to call for the abolition of the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool (BSWAT).  

The joint Our Line in the Sand submission to the Australian Human Rights Commission calls for the BSWAT to be immediately replaced by the much fairer Supported Wage System across all work settings.
