AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) A total of 684 applications have
been received, of which 144 are new applications.
(2) This will be determined
following assessment by the CAP independent priority assessment panel.
(3) The total
funding is $3 million. The average amount per applicant will be known only once
applicants are assessed, with prioritisation of applicants' needs.
(4) Although it
has been the case in all years since the commencement of the combined
application process that the demand for funding will exceed available
resources, people with disability can engage with a local coordinator to
identify and respond to immediate requirements and undertake a planning process
to implement a longer-term sustainable arrangement.
