Disability Services

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Human Services regarding disability. What exactly are the provider-of-last-resort arrangements for people with disability in the event that an NDIS-funded organisation can no longer provide care at short notice?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:44): I thank the honourable member for her question. My understanding is that the provider of last resort—or that might not be the correct terminology, but that the contract which the federal government has provided is through Marathon Health. If that's not the name of the organisation, I will go back and update the council.
