Disability Sector

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:43): Supplementary arising from the original answer: the minister detailed the response of the commonwealth government as well as the state governments, but has the minister, her staff or the department spoken with any heads of disability support agencies directly about how the government can support them during this crisis?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:43): I think I have outlined that we have a sector reference group. Disability is the only one of those four priority areas that has its own specific group, which includes CEs of a range of non-government providers in South Australia. In addition, there are some disability service providers who are on the broader human services group as well. I participated in the broad sector one this week. I have not been able to be available for the disability one as yet—or maybe it is the other way round. No, sorry; I was right the first time. The disability group, I think, has a meeting when parliament is on, which means that I am probably excluded from participating, depending on what time it is.
