135. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
Minister for Mental Health:
(1) Does the
state government through the Mental Health Commission provide funding to
non-government organisations in the lower south west NDIS My Way trial site to
deliver acute mental health services?
(2) If yes, which NGOs receive the funding and how much funding
does each NGO receive?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question. The
answer I am going to give is on the basis that the question refers to the NDIS
My Way trial site, which I anticipate the member means within the trial itself.
Hon Adele Farina : No.
Hon HELEN MORTON : The answer to that is —
(1)–(2)
The NDIS My Way does not provide medical or other clinical or support services
for people still engaged in recovery from a mental illness. These are provided
through health and specific mental health programs.
