    Alarm bells are being rung within the disability sector

    Alarm bells are being rung within the disability sector


    A recent survey of Disability Service Network members has nearly two thirds saying they'll struggle to provide their contracted services, at the current rate of funding.

    Chief Executive Peter Reynolds says it's been more than a decade since disability support services had a funding increase at the rate of inflation or above.

    He says somehow they're meant to survive, and continue providing excellent support to disabled people, with less and less funding.
