MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer: minister, in the almost two years since your chief executive wrote about information exchange, have you raised formally at the Disability Reform Council the need for information exchange; and I would also ask again: has one single thing changed under your watch in this area?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:25):</by>  As I have explained in relation to a whole lot of things in the national disability insurance space, there are a number of moving parts all the time. On any given day, the issues that we are resolving in the NDIS space are different to what they will be in another area. There is a lot of work that is going on to make sure that all of these systems are in place, that people are receiving appropriate supports. There are gaps in particular areas. Indeed, the Hon. Frank Pangallo raised specific issues. He wrote to me last year about issues in relation to what we call voluntary out-of-home care. That is one of the many issues that has been resolved through the Disability Reform Council and other processes in the last 12 months.</text>
        <text id="202007235054f1d736f1441b80000451">There are a range of matters that take place throughout the Disability Reform Council process. I have met with the quality and safeguarding commissioner when he's been here and also through Teams meetings. Mr Head reports to every Disability Reform Council meeting that we have. There is a very diverse range of ways in which we are all collectively resolving some of these matters on behalf of NDIS participants.</text>
