If the National Disability Insurance Scheme is to complete its roll-out by 2018, NSW will need another 25,000 workers like Williams.

Concerned at a severe shortfall in staff, the Baird government will announce on Sunday it is dropping fees for TAFE courses that train people to work in disability and community services.

Under the $10 million program, courses which had cost up to $5000 for qualifications in Auslan, community services, disability and aged care, and youth work, will become free from next year.
