Jane Carrigan: Disability Advocate on disabled family carers being granted employment rights by the Supreme Court
A monumental change for people caring for severely disabled family members.
A landmark Supreme Court ruling yesterday means those providing full-time care for severely disabled family members are entitled to pay.
It was brought by two parents, Christine Fleming and Peter Humphreys, who care for severely disabled adult children.
Disability Advocate Jane Carrigan told Heather du Plessis-Allan getting minimum wage is the bare minimum for these families.
She says this will impact roughly 10 thousand families.
