This submission follows the announcement on 15 January 2014 by Ministers Andrews and Fifield that the Commonwealth will make a one off payment to employees with intellectual disability paid wages determined by the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool (BSWAT).

This submission calls on the AHRC to set a national standard of the SWS to remove any doubt or loophole regarding the use of BSWAT.
