Job stress, fatigue, burnout, and mental health issues are not new to the disability workforce.
EAP for Disability workers
Disability support work is complex and requires a workforce with the skills and expertise to deliver safe, quality supports.
However, under NDIS price setting, time and resources for regular training of the workforce are under pressure. As a result, workers often receive limited to no training and there are limited opportunities for career advancement.
Job stress, fatigue, burnout, and mental health issues are not new to the disability workforce. Time and resource pressures are a major contributor and limit the ability of the workforce to deliver safe, quality supports to people with disability. Some sources point to casualisation of support work adding to job stress as it tends to result in unpredictable schedules and income for workers.
At Connect Psych we understand the challenges of the disability support workforce as we work with multiple organisations in this space.
"The COVID-19 pandemic created enormous challenges for the disability sector. The disability workforce faced many of these challenges on top of the ones it was already experiencing."
