This episode breaks down why face-to-face interviews alone are a weak hiring tool in disability support, and how scenario-based assessments reveal a worker’s real instincts around choice, dignity, and participant voice. It also covers smarter screening with shortlisting scorecards, parallel referee checks, and why an NDIS Worker Screening Check is only a legal baseline, not proof of suitability.
