NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME — MY
WAY TRIAL
113. Hon ALANNA CLOHESY to the Minister
for Disability Services:
I refer to state and federal
government promises that people with disability will be given formal, fair and
impartial National Disability Insurance Scheme trials, and that a broad
consultation with the future users of the scheme will be undertaken. However,
recent reports indicate that the bilateral agreement will be signed long before
the evaluation is concluded and is analysed.
(1) Will the evaluation data be made
public in a timely manner?
(2) Have people
who are not yet in either the NDIS or NDIS My Way trials been included in the
evaluation?
(3) How will the
evaluation data be used to ensure that the scheme that is adopted in Western Australia
is the one that people with disability have said best suits their needs?
(4) What evidence is being used to
determine best value for Western Australians with disability?

I thank the member for some notice
of the question
(1)–(4) The
Western Australian government is committed to a National Disability Insurance
Scheme that gets it right for Western Australians with disability. People with
disability in both comparative trials are benefiting from the increased
funding, and choice and control, that the NDIS provides. The final evaluation
report is due in August 2016 and will compare the business processes and
experiences of participants in the NDIS Perth Hills and NDIS My Way trial
sites. Designing the future of disability services in Western Australia is not
a simple choice between the two NDIS trial models, but will involve drawing out
the best features of both models, the lessons learnt from the independent
evaluation, and engaging with people who will participate in the scheme
throughout Western Australia.
