National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Human Services, the Hon. Michelle Lensink. Could the minister indicate how many disabled children have had to be put in child protection care because families have been unable to get NDIS funding?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his question. In terms of the number of children who are in out-of-home care, I think the most likely source of that data would be my colleague the Minister for Child Protection, so I will consult with her and seek an appropriate response.
