DESCRIPTION:<a href="https://www.helpalong.net/event/international-women-s-
 day-18/register">International Women's Day</a>\nThis year’s Internationa
 l Women’s Day theme\, Balance the Scales\, is a promise that every woman
  and girl\, regardless of background or identity\, should be safe\, heard 
 and free to shape her own future. For us\, this theme is not abstract. It 
 connects directly to the work our support workers do every day. Women in o
 ur workforce Within our organisation\, 65% of our workforce is female. In 
 leadership roles\, women make up over 50% of the management team. Women ar
 e not only the backbone of our frontline support\, they are shaping operat

 esentation matters. It shows that contribution leads to progression and le
 adership pathways are open.Women in the disability community The NDIA has 
 previously recognised the vital role women play in delivering the NDIS and
  supporting Australians with disability to live their best lives. The Sche
 me contributes to gender equality by increasing choice and control for wom
 en with disability and supporting women carers to return to study or emplo
 yment. This aligns with what we see in practice. Support workers enable wo
 men with disability to pursue employment\, access community activities\, a
 ttend appointments and live with greater independence. NDIS funding for tr
 ansport\, assistive technology\, therapy and daily living support creates 
 practical pathways for autonomy. Many carers are women. When supports are 
 in place\, women who care for children or partners with disability can ret
 urn to work or education. The impact extends beyond the individual to fami
 lies and communities. Balancing the scales in disability services means en
