The employment future of hundreds of West Australians with disabilities will be dependent on a new organisation picking up the pieces after the state's largest disability services provider, Activ Foundation, announced it would close its workshops last year.
In May, the foundation revealed it would close its large-scale industrial worksites in Perth, Bunbury and Geraldton because of funding cuts to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
The WA government and the Commonwealth funded a total of almost $12 million in support to help workers keep their jobs, while they worked out a solution to secure ongoing work for them.
