Not for profit service organisations formed in 2011 PALS – currently deliver services from 10 different campuses around the shire in residential, one on one personal care, respite house, & supported employment opportunities. PALS employs 80 people to provide support for 130 people. More than 2000 are registered in Moira shire with disabilities. National Disability Insurance Scheme is the largest reform since Medicare. Rollout commenced in 2013, Goulburn Region commences 1/1/19. Expects to benefit 460,000 when rollout completed. Positive enforcement for monetary support for those with a disability.

Suzanne Viel – Living & breathing NDIS for last 6 years. National scheme – rights based, insurance based system will double the total funding for Australians with disabilities. Stimulate employment in the sector & provide employment options.

People with a disability to become more involved in the community. The old system was a state based scheme which varied from each state & had inequities. The aim is that those with a disability will have the same rights as everyone else.

Insurance scheme to be funded from a slight increase in the medicare levy. Over time the funds will grow to provide lifetime support for those that are found eligible.

Funding was 10 billion, it will be around 22 billion by the time it is up & running which will stimulate employment in the sector which will provide accessible housing – it won’t build houses & will stimulate the market this accessible for those with disabilities. NDIS will have a strong focus on improving employment rates.

Access – Eligibility – Post June 2019 – 105,000 Victorians

Plan – Support need, goals & aspirations

Individualised funding for ‘reasonable & necessary’ services & equipment

Services – choice of providers

Individualised & outcome focussed support

Not for profit, for profit & directly employed

Review – review the plan

Sector is changing with a range of supports & a service agreement is entered into with the provider to provide the person the ability to achieve their goals on a yearly basis.

Individual & family have control & empowerment to determine their own needs & source their own provider – satisfaction sitting at around 83% which is very high.

The scheme is fundamentally about providing dignity & support & to promote community & mainstream services for those with disabilities. 2,500 currently have funding through state system NDIS will support 3,500 when it is rolled out – more funding & more services.

Reports – Stephen Mills – Men’s Health Night 15th June, several health professionals will be in attendance with guest speaker Heath Black, a dinner will be provided to those who are registered.
