DISABILITY SERVICES

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:52): A further supplementary: will the minister be working to commit funding to assist the service provider sector in undergoing such training as the government has now started to do on a federal level?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:52): I have already committed. I made that commitment without giving any indication of the level of funding because we need to see what the services will be that are required by the NGO sector. But we also should know, as the honourable member just noted herself, that there are indeed NDIS taskforces already at work on this very issue.
