The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a major reform that will change the way support and care are provided to people with permanent and significant disability. In December 2017, the WA State Government signed a bilateral agreement with the Commonwealth to join the NDIS.
Our audit objective is to assess whether the Department of Communities, the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Department of Treasury are effectively preparing WA to move onto the NDIS. Our focus will be to answer the following questions:
- Are agencies set up and on target to achieve a successful transition?
- Are agencies proactively managing the risks to WA in moving to the NDIS?
Tabling is currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2019.
