DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe National Disability Insurance Scheme (known commonly as the NDIS) was introduced as a radical new way of funding disability services in Australia. It is a rare moment in politics and policy making that an idea as revolutionary, ambitious and expensive as the NDIS makes it into its implementation phase. Not surprising, then, that the NDIS has been described by many as the biggest social shift in Australia since Medicare. This book will be a key text for scholars and public policy professionals wishing to understand the NDIS, how it was designed, and lessons learned through its introduction and roll-out. The book addresses how the NDIS has intersected with particular cohorts and sectors, and some of the challenges that have arisen. It highlights the experiences of people with disability through a collection of personal stories from participants and families in the NDIS. The key insights from this large scale public policy experiment are relevant for anyone interested in social change in Australia, or internationally.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDO YOUR EMPLOYEES FEEL HEARD, VALUED AND SUPPORTED? Over the last six years the Australian disability sector has experienced massive disruption due to the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. In this entirely new marketplace, an organisation's employees are now its most important asset and greatest competitive differentiator. Fran Connelley, author of the bestseller, How to Thrive under the NDIS, turns her attention to workplace culture at a critical time for the Australian disability sector. It is culture that enables people to perform at their best and, in the face of a Royal Commission and the NDIS Commission, it is culture that must become the key business driver for providers in the maturing marketplace. Workplace Culture and the NDIS is written for CEOs looking for practical tools to support their employees and build a vibrant, change tolerant workplace culture. It includes interviews with CEOs and thought leaders. Using jargon free language, Fran outlines a marketer's approach to organisational change based on an authentic, living brand.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe seventh edition of this classic handbook on the policy process is fully updated, featuring new material on policy making amid local and global disruption, the contestable nature of modern policy advice, commissioning and contracting, public engagement and policy success and failure. The Australian Policy Handbook shows how public policy permeates every aspect of our lives. It is the stuff of government, justifying taxes, driving legislation and shaping our social services. Public policy gives us roads, railways and airports, emergency services, justice, education and health services, defence, industry development and natural resource management. While politicians make the decisions, public servants provide analysis and support for those choices. This updated edition includes new visuals and introduces a series of case studies for the first time. These cases—covering family violence, behavioural economics, justice reinvestment, child protection and more—illustrate the personal and professional challenges of policymaking practice. Drawing on their extensive practical and academic experience, the authors outline the processes used in making public policy. They systematically explain the relationships between political decision makers, public service advisers, community participants and those charged with implementation. The Australian Policy Handbook remains the essential guide for students and practitioners of policy making in Australia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs much as everyone groans from time to time about the humdrum and stresses of work, retirement is an unsettling prospect for most people. It's a major transition in anyone's life and change of this magnitude often arouses anxiety. This is much more so for people with disability, particularly intellectual disability. But, as this manual shows, it doesn't have to be like that. The Transition to Retirement (TTR) program has been developed in response to a genuine problem: the need for an effective approach to supporting older employees to build an active, socially inclusive lifestyle after retirement. The approach mapped out in this manual may not be the solution for all workers with disability, but it will certainly assist quite a few. The TTR program emphasises social inclusion. It is consistent with the focus of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) on building community participation and independence. It is also consistent with the National Disability Strategy's emphasis on promoting social inclusion in mainstream community settings and service systems. The TTR program supports ageing people with disability to develop new interests, skills and social networks, and facilitates their participation in mainstream community groups. With the manual comes a series of video clips which makes the idea of inclusive activities in retirement easily understandable to people with disability, their families and community organisations.
