(4) On what basis, broken down by group, were the unsuccessful applicants denied funding.
Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) As outlined in response to Question No 1550 on 16 July 2018, the Integrated Service Response program provides short term support and coordination for people who have high or complex needs. It does not provide funding for disability groups.
(2) As outlined above, the Integrated Service Response program does not provide funding for disability groups.
(3) The Integrated Service Response program is not a grant program. The program is for people with disability with intensive support needs, who need coordination of mainstream services because their wellbeing and stability in the community is threatened by crisis, complexity or changing support needs. The program is for people who are participating in the NDIS or who meet the disability eligibility requirements for the NDIS. Funding for the provision of disability support may also be provided to people who meet the disability criteria for the NDIS but are found ineligible due to Australian residency requirements. The program guidelines are available on the Community Services Directorate’s website: https://www.communityservices.act.gov.au/disability_act/integrated-service-response-program.
(4) Whilst the program provides funding for people with disability to purchase emergency supports and services from non-government providers, not all people accepted into the program require funding to purchase emergency supports. Some people require coordination of mainstream services because their wellbeing and stability in the community is threatened by crisis, complexity or the changing nature of their support needs. As of 3 December 2018, five referrals have not been accepted for the program and these people have been provided advice regarding other options that may suit their requirements.
