5305 - TRANSFER OF CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH 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 options are available to people in Ageing, Disability, and Home Care facilities who are happy with the agency's provision of services and do not wish to transfer their care to a private provider?
Answer -

The Government is committed to ensuring minimal disruption to people's lives and living arrangements during the process of transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the transfer of group homes to the non government sector. People currently living in Ageing, Disability, and Home Care operated group homes in community settings can choose to remain in their homes, and, under the NDIS, will have the choice of many non-government providers to deliver their future supports.
