National Disability Insurance Scheme

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:12): My question is to the Minister for Disabilities. Will the government establish a sector development fund to assist providers of disability services to fully prepare for the full rollout of the NDIS and, if not, why not?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (15:12): Having come from the Disability Reform Council on Friday with the federal minister and state ministers attending, there are a number of issues that are being discussed in a national space. Workforce planning and the support of people who are moving into the contestable market were discussed, and we will be discussing it again in May.
