To Our Community,

With the recent news of Bedford Industries entering voluntary administration, our hearts go out to all those affected.

We understand that this has created a time of great uncertainty, stress, and sadness — not only for employees, but for the wider disability community, including participants, families, support coordinators and care teams.

The ripple effects of this change will be felt deeply and our team is committed to supporting our community in any way we can during this difficult time.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out. We will monitor any emails or voicemails left over the weekend and get back to you as soon as possible.

Not Your Average Support Company

This is just devastating for so many participants, families and employees of Bedford . It’s not easy to work with a forever changing scheme .

BREAKING: South Australian disability support organisation Bedford Group has announced it is set to enter voluntary administration.

More than 1,400 people with disability across the state will be directly impacted.

Despite the organisation having an exhaustive negotiation process with the state and federal governments, a deadline has been set for Sunday.

Bedford CEO Myron Mann: “We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting each of our clients, residents and staff during this challenging time. It is a devastating situation with vast personal impact.

Bedford provides a haven for so many South Australians and has done so for the past 80 years.

It is an incredibly disappointing outcome not only for Bedford but for the national disability sector.

Bedford has demonstrated clear intent to drive change and innovation to remain financially sustainable however the magnitude of challenges faced, particularly in relation to the supported employment model, remain complex to navigate and unprofitable for organisations.”
