Bill Shorten to address Victorian faithful

The Victorian State Labor conference continues on Sunday, with Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten scheduled to speak.

Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will address the ALP faithful in Melbourne for the party's state conference.

The two-day conference began on Saturday, with Premier Daniel Andrews using his speech to announce an independent registration and accreditation scheme for the state's disability workforce.

The Health and Community Services Union officials staged a walk out during the premier's speech, angry over plans to contract out disability services.

They say the government went against a pre-2014 election promise and have vowed to continue their protests.

Mr Shorten is scheduled to speak at 10.15am on Sunday.
