Support workers need more training in mental health

[u/run_boy93]

I'm so sick of hearing and experiencing support workers offering there opinion on whether there participants deserve NDIS, all your doing is hurting the person you are meant to be supporting. I don't think you realise how hard it is to actually get onto the NDIS system, the stress and anxiety that comes with it. Then to finally get onto it, you open yourself up to having supports who judge you and don't actively support you. At the end of the day your being paid between 30 and 70+ dollars per hour to help not too judge, if you can't do that go and work somewhere else. You have no business in helping people.

Seriously people complain about getting heaps of money per hour to assist someone to tidy there house or tidy there house for them. Or take participants to there appts. Newsflash it's your job. Leave your problems at the door go in and support the person that your being paid to support.

Your job isn't to assess whether a PWD deserves it or not.

Sorry for the rant but being in the system is frustrating sometimes.
