Abstract

The Disability Markets Survey (previously the NDS Business Confidence Survey), is the fourth in a series of studies undertaken by National Disability Services (NDS) to monitor change in the supply of disability services, business conditions and the operations of disability services providers in Australia.

NDS, through its research arm the Centre for Applied Disability Research, initiated this work to track broad and emerging trends relating to the supply side of specialist disability services in Australia. The development of a systemic market position statement is thought to be relevant to the identification of strategies and points of intervention that support the development of a vibrant, innovative, sustainable supply of specialist disability services. The underlying assumption of this research program is that market, sector and workforce outcomes are inextricably linked to better outcomes for people with disability.

As part of NDS’s long-term data strategy, the 2016 study was expanded from an examination of business confidence to examine a wider range of issues and the distribution was extended to include non-members of NDS. In addition, this year’s study was undertaken by the Curtin University Not-for-profit Initiative (Curtin) and forms part of a longitudinal study of Australia’s Disability Sector
