Why are these changes occurring?
Every four years, the FairWork Commission undertakes a review of the SCHADS Award to determine any changes required to the reasonable conditions of workers, including the disability sector. There are submissions from stakeholders, including employers, peaks and unions. The most recent review was undertaken in late 2021, and the changes were announced in April 2022.
In order to adhere to the SCHADS award that our allied health assistants (AHAs) fall under, Fora needs to factor in these changes.
