          <by role="member" id="4867">The Hon. T.T. NGO (15:04):</by>  My questions are to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability housing. Minister, who is the South Australian representative on the Disability Reform Council, the highest decision-making body for the NDIS? Can NDIS funding be used to fund modifications in public housing?</text>

          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:05):</by>  I think that generally the attitude of the NDIS—and this is a discussion that is ongoing in a policy sense—is that it has been reluctant to fund modifications where the NDIS participant is a tenant rather than a home owner. There have also been matters under discussion about whether NDIS participants can be part of a co-share arrangement with other people where the other people living with them are not NDIS participants; that is, where they are in a shared family situation and the like. I will double-check what the arrangement is in terms of whether the NDIS does provide support via Housing Trust properties.</text>
