Did you know the Disability Worker Code of Conduct applies to all disability workers delivering disability services in Victoria, no matter how their work is funded?

This includes people who directly provide a disability service or those who supervise or manage them.

It does not include family members who provide disability services without a fee or reward, or volunteers unless they are doing so on behalf of an organisation or agency.

We’re hosting a free webinar to help disability workers understand their responsibilities under the Code, and how it supports safe, respectful and high-quality services.
