Supported Employment - Call to Action


You may be aware of the BSWAT court case that has resulted in a national push to substantially increase supported employee wages for people working in Australian Disability Enterprises (ADEs). Whilst increased wages for people with disability is a worthy goal, people with disability working in ADEs have moderate to severe disabilities (many with an intellectual disability) and mostly with lower productivity levels. In addition ADEs are charities, established to create work for people with disability and cannot viably afford to pay much higher wages. 

Families please carefully read the attached Sunnyfield pamphlet and if you agree, then send a letter to the Minister.
