Disability Workforce Planning

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:17): I have a supplementary question. Forgive me, but the minister seems to have misinterpreted my question. While the subject of employment of people with disability is very important, this particular question was about the fact that we have half the projected workforce of people such as disability support workers—people supporting people with disabilities—needed for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:17): I will take those questions on notice and bring back a response.
