Disability Services

114 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 August 2014). What measures is the state government implementing to ensure that non-government organisations and charities are able to cope with the high cost of rental and increases and overhead costs?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

Indexation of 3 per cent has been provided to all non-government organisations delivering programs and services to people with disability.

Additional supplementation has also been made available to non-government organisations to meet increased wage costs arising from the Equal Remuneration Order.
