Mr TELFER (Flinders) (15:19): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Have any in-kind arrangements been extended into 2023-24 that are still to be resolved and, if so, what are they? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: The Auditor-General reported in the annual report that some aspects of transitioning to claiming for services provided under the NDIS were still being resolved and that the in-kind arrangements have been extended into 2023-24.

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services) (15:20): We certainly did commit to and have been extensively working with our teams in terms of the delivery of our state disability services and we did negotiate for a continuance of the in-kind arrangements so that we could make sure that our service was ready to be able to perform as an NDIS provider. That arrangement has now come to an end and we are now, as a state disability service provider, operating as an NDIS participant.
