Hundreds of Tasmanians with disabilities will need to switch NDIS provider as Anglicare Tasmania exits the market, saying it cannot continue to subsidise the federally funded services.
The Health and Community Services Union also raised concerns about the creation of "super organisations" with the exit of smaller service providers.
"Over the past two years Anglicare has subsidised the delivery of NDIS-related services. Further subsidy of NDIS service delivery is not sustainable long-term," the company said in a statement. Anglicare chief executive Chris Jones said the federal government had "recognised there are some major systemic problems with the NDIS".
HCSU state secretary Tim Jacobson said it was a "major decision by what is one of the biggest players in the Tasmanian disability sector".
