NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): My question is again to the Minister for Disabilities. Will the minister explain whether South Australia's contribution to the NDIS will be capped? If so, what is the cap whether in cash or in kind, and at what rate will the cap be indexed?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:42): I thank the member for the question. I don't have the exact detail; however, what I can say is that the figure for the amount we are investing, both the state and the commonwealth, is based on modelling prepared by the Productivity Commission and we have then applied that to the number of people we believe in the state, so we have worked out a global amount. The other detail I don't have at hand but I am happy to get it for you.
