NDIS Q2 QUARTERLY REPORT RELEASED TODAY
On 17th February the Hon Stuart Robert released the NDIS Quarterly Report for disability ministers Q2 2020-2021.
The report is a summary of how the Scheme performed from 1 October 2020 – 31 December 2020.
Key Scheme Highlights Include:
- 432,649 people with a disability are being supported by the NDIS
- 21,283 people with a disability joined the scheme in Q2
- 35% of new participants in Q2 were aged 0-6
- 9,560 children received supports through the ECEI gateway
- 22% less younger people is residential aged care
The value intermediaries bring to both participants and the NDIS is clearly demonstrated by the numbers of participants engaging Registered Plan Management and Support Coordination Providers across Australia.
On the data publish by the NDIA, DIA’s CEO, Mr Jess Harper said:
“We welcome the release of the NDIS Q2 – Quarterly Report, the date in the report shows a big step forward for participants requesting all or part of their funds to be managed by a Registered Plan Management Provider. Further the increase to the number of participants being funded with Support Coorindation within their plan is also encouraging”.
