NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME — “STATE OF THE DISABILITY SECTOR REPORT”

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.51 pm]: Today the National Disability Services released its annual “State of the Disability Sector Report”. It is a very important snapshot of the disability services sector, including the results of a survey of 667 disability service providers across Australia. It provides a picture of some of those areas that service providers are finding particularly challenging.

State of the disability sector report reveals providers under strain and people failing to get support

Western Australians with complex needs are falling through the cracks as the NDIS fails to provide the specialist care they need, Greens spokesperson for Disability Hon Alison Xamon MLC has said, following the release of National Disability Services’ annual State of the Disability Sector report today.

Hon Xamon said the report echoed her concerns about the impact of thin markets – the inadequate availability of services leading to a failure to meet people’s needs – and the need for a provider of last resort.
