Unions are battling the privatization of New South Wales disability services

Unions are battling the privatization of New South Wales disability services. A forum was hosted by the Public Service Association and the Community and Public Sector Union. “PSA industrial officer Kris Cruden said all other states except NSW were retaining some sort of disability services, but everything in NSW would disappear at the end of June 2018. Ms. Cruden said the Newcastle forum was planned as the first of a series around the state. The forum heard some people, especially those with persuasive advocates, had done well out of the NDIS, but PSA president Kylie McKelvie said a recent ABC 7.30 report about a profoundly disabled Victorian man ending up in prison showed what was happening when things go wrong.”
