Disability advocates demand major reforms to support services legislation
The bill follows a Supreme Court ruling that two carers of adult children with disabilies were employees of the government, and therefore entitled to the same legal protections and benefits.
Advocates for individuals with disabilities are urging significant revisions to a proposed bill concerning support services. The legislation was introduced in response to a recent Supreme Court decision. This ruling determined that two caregivers for adults with disabilities were considered government employees. Consequently, they are now entitled to the same legal protections and benefits as other government workers.
The proposed changes aim to ensure equitable treatment and benefits for caregivers, potentially impacting the broader landscape of disability support and employment law.
