Helpers and Mentors program and the Partners in Recovery program, being
transitioned to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(2) This
question should be directed to the Minister for Mental Health—I
indicate that I have already referred it to the minister, but I will still
provide the answer I have—who is responsible for the provision of
mental health supports for people who are not eligible for the NDIS. There is
close collaboration between the Mental Health Commission and the Disability
Services Commission to ensure alignment between NDIS and non-NDIS mental health
services.
