NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question is again to the Minister for Disabilities. What is the expected annual cost to South Australia of running the National Disability Insurance Agency?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:39): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am advised that when the scheme is fully rolled out it will cost us around about $724 million a year. Between now and then, the program will be scaled up from the current $325 million to that point once we are agreed on the actual rollout schedule.
