Mark Delaney

My son, Mark, is 50 years of age and has suffered from Schizophrenia since 18 years of age. He relies on medication to enable him to have a normal life. He is employed as an ADE Employee on a casual basis 3 or 4 times a week which gives him meaning to his life and ensures he has a responsibility to conduct a daily routine by attending a workplace. The Enterprise workshop can only support ADEs if they can entice suppliers to use their services. The payment of fair and appropriate wages, based on a tool that is capable of rewarding employee attributes and outputs, as well as acknowledging and allowing for areas that are still to be developed, is essential. We ask the Federal Minister to ensure that wage mechanisms that are put into place are appropriate for all stakeholders
