Disability & NDIS 

About our Disability & NDIS Practice


Since the government's divestment from operational services in 2016, the Australian Disability sector has undergone constant change in organisational design, operating systems, and ownership structures.


Australia's ageing population and increased awareness of Disability Services mean that 4.3 million of us live with a disability. With a 10-year annualised growth rate nearing 80%, Australian Disability and Social Services are our fastest-growing health economies.


Yet, with more than 17,000 registered providers, our Australian Disability marketplace is one of the most fragmented in all of the Human Services sector.


Grappling with pressures of margin compression, regulatory change, staff engagement, industrial relations and growing workforce needs, services of the future can achieve operational efficiencies with strategic alliances, advanced technology integrations and deeper employee retention strategies.


At Orchard, we help organisations negotiate these complexities by appointing high-calibre corporate, clinical and operational talent.


Our approach includes; single search, interim appointment or holistic workforce volume campaigns.
