Who took part in the research?

An effort was made to recruit people from all disability settings and across Victoria.

As in 2018, survey participants were most commonly aged 45-54, located in metropolitan Victoria and had worked in the sector for over 20 years. They were most commonly employed full time, worked in the public sector and were working in established regions in terms of NDIS rollout stage. Over half worked in a residential setting, and almost seven-in-ten were members of HACSU.

Key characteristics of survey participants in 2019 are outlined below.
