National Disability Insurance Scheme

253 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 September 2016). In reference to 2016-17 Budget Paper 5, page 23—how many people who have applied for funding under the NDIS have been rejected in South Australia?

The Hon. L.A. VLAHOS (Taylor—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse): I am advised:

According to the National Disability Insurance Agency June 2016 Quarterly report, as at 30 June 2016, 449 or 4.3% of the 10,368 South Australian who have submitted an access request to enter the scheme have been deemed ineligible.
