The Brotherhood of St Laurence is planning to cut up to 45 early childhood coordinator positions as it adjusts to upcoming changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The roles are currently funded through an NDIS contract and are involved in supporting children’s disability services. According to reports from multiple outlets, the organisation is shifting its priorities toward adult disability services, which is driving the reduction in staffing within its early childhood function.
The coverage notes that the job cuts are linked to the transition period ahead of expected NDIS reforms. While the reports focus on the number of affected roles and the organisation responsible, they do not provide additional details on the timeline of the redundancies or the specific operational reasons beyond the stated reallocation toward adult services. The articles also describe the changes as part of broader adjustments to how the organisation plans to deliver disability support under the evolving funding environment.
Overall, the reports agree that the cuts target early childhood coordinator roles currently supported under NDIS arrangements, as the Brotherhood of St Laurence reorients its disability services focus.
