Serco sights on NDIS billions
Global services conglomerate Serco is eyeing the $22 billion national disability insurance scheme as a source of new profits and is hiring a “subject matter expert” to advance a business case.
The company — best known in Australia for running the government’s outsourced immigration detention centres, including a facility on Christmas Island — wants its NDIS expert to “analyse the market and determine what opportunities exist”.
It is the first sign the company aims to move into the disability sector. People who will use the NDIS said while the move was “not shocking, it is concerning”.
