Disability support worker warns against for-profit care groups

From Checkpoint, 5:49 pm on 7 September 2022

An in-home disability support worker says she would never work for a for-profit care organisation.

She's backing calls for an inquiry into the model, which advocates say results in unreliable and inconsistent care.

Wellington care worker Sharon Callaghan is self employed and says - done well - the job can be very rewarding.

RNZ reporter Rosie Gordon and cameraman Sam Rillstone joined Sharon for the morning to see what the job's like.
