Go Jenni! Sandhurst Centre employee Jenni Fitt said disability paid carers could see their wage drop to as low as $14 an hour under changes to the sector. If services are fully contracted out and individuals funded under unit costs of $36 per hour, then potentially paid carers in the future will earn $14 to $16 an hour, she said. It takes a lot of imagination to get skilled and experienced support for $16 an hour. Abbott was given the tick of approval to keep the commitment to rolling out the NDIS, but I would suggest, be very nervous. NDIS should not be used to replace the quality services that we already have, yet it seems that this is the current agenda of contracting out.
