More than 9500 aged care and disability support workers will be back-paid $3.3 million after one of NSW’s biggest providers admitted underpaying them over seven years.

The Uniting Church in Australia Property Trust (NSW), which runs more than 70 aged care facilities in NSW and the ACT, discovered the underpayments after complaints from employees.
