NDS is reaching out to the sector following several reports from providers of a reduction or removal of supports in participants’ packages. We have heard about changes in a participant’s support ratios without any change in need, and the reduction or elimination of funding for nursing supports for people with complex disability-related health needs.
We need more information and de-identified participant examples from providers to better understand the issue. It will help inform our advocacy to government. Please share your experience with NDS by emailing Pip Robertson, Health Lead — Quality and Safeguards by Monday 27 May: submit enquiry/feedback
