NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME — MY
WAY — SERVICE COORDINATION
117. Hon AMBER-JADE SANDERSON to the
Minister for Disability Services:
I refer to the National Disability
Insurance Scheme. In all other states, people can choose a provider to carry
out service coordination for them. In Western Australia, the proposal is that
service coordination can be carried out only by the person's allocated
My Way coordinator.
(1) Why are people with disability
in WA being denied choice and control?
(2) If the
Disability Services Commission believes that the MWC model is superior, why not
allow people choice of an MWC or another provider for this critical aspect of
promptly implementing plans efficiently?

I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) People
with disability in both comparative trials are benefiting from the increased
funding and choice and control that the NDIS provides. In WA NDIS My Way,
people can involve providers in the development and implementation of their
plans.

The PRESIDENT : Order, members! The answer is the
answer. You may not like it, you may not agree with it and you may not even
understand it, but it is the answer.
