National Disability Insurance Scheme

Mr KNOLL (Schubert) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Disabilities. With the transition to the NDIS, can the minister outline whether carer support organisations will continue to be funded by the state to the value that they have been previously?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse) (14:55): With the transitioning to the NDIS, which is a hugely complex piece of social policy on the scale of the implementation of Medicare, 32,000 South Australians will be migrating across to the scheme, with its full implementation in July 2018. We know that the NDIA will be price setting for the service provision in that space and is updated on a yearly basis as we move forward.
