The State Government recognises the importance of regional, niche, coordination and peripheral services that are outside the NDIS parameters in order for people with disability to have access to quality services. The State Government remains committed to ensuring people with disability have access to advocacy. A review of advocacy is currently being undertaken and I am expecting to receive a report on this matter during November 2017. (b) See above.
