Department of Human Services

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (24 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.F. COOK (Hurtle Vale—Minister for Human Services, Minister for Seniors and Ageing Well): I have been advised:

The increase in net cost of services of $20.9 million between 2023-24 estimated result is primarily due to the following changes to approved budgets:

Revision to the state's National Disability Insurance Scheme contribution reflecting adjustments to population share and indexation calculations and the end of in-kind arrangements ($19.0 million).

Additional NGO indexation supplementation (extra 2.3 per cent or $1.2 million from 2023-24 onwards).
