5118 - CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Family and Community Services, and Minister for Women representing the Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability Services, and Minister for the Illawarra

What steps is the Government taking to protect people with severe disabilities, who may find it difficult to make choices regarding care of provision and who require high levels of care?

Answer -

Through the implementation of Living Life My Way, the Government is putting in place safeguards to manage the risk to individuals and improve the level of service provided.

A range of safeguarding strategies are currently being developed for implementation whilst New South Wales transitions to the National Disability Insurance Scheme. This includes the safeguards that are being built into the decision making processes for individualising disability supports.
