Deadline: 26 September 2017
The Australian Government is currently inviting applicants to deliver services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Transition – Boosting the Local Care Workforce from December 2017 to 30 September 2019.
The Grant Opportunity is intended to build disability sector capacity and service provider readiness in the lead up to full National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) implementation, and for aged care employers and workers.
Grant Initiatives
The grant opportunity consists of three initiatives:
- The Care Workforce Regional Coordinator Initiative will support NDIS and aged care providers in regional, rural and outer metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, and raise awareness of employment opportunities in the NDIS and aged care through public awareness sessions.
- The nationally focused Specialist Coordinators Initiative will work with Care Workforce Regional Coordinators Initiative to analyse and address their focus areas.
- The Sector Transition and Employer Support Initiative will deliver one-on-one transition support to NDIS providers with a focus on regional, outer metropolitan and non-metropolitan locations, given lower levels of market preparedness and thinner markets.
