About this resource

Every day, support workers enable others to lead fulfilling lives, providing vital assistance and supporting independence.

The What’s my Future campaign evolved when a group of passionate people got together wanting to address the current disability worker shortage. Instead of focusing on the issues we were committed to developing a solution.

Our goal is to attract and retain disability support workers through a public facing campaign designed to promote support work as a viable career option, increase community awareness of disability support work and improve community attitudes towards people with disability.

Disability support work can include different things depending on what supports the person needs. The disability sector delivers a range of services to meet individual needs and goals. Key services include:

* Daily Living Support

* Therapy and Allied Health Services

* Community and Social Participation

* Education, Employment, and Skills Development

* Specialist Disability Support
