Schedule F Sector and System Readiness in Western Australia The Parties agree that full scheme costs for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) must be sustainable. The Parties agree that transition arrangements will be managed so that providers, the workforce, individuals, the Western Australia (WA) NDIS authority and existing systems are prepared to operate in the NDIS system. The Parties agree to recognise and support practical steps to support sector and system readiness. The Parties recognise and support that to be able to meet the timeframes envisaged for processing access requests/eligibility2 and developing plans under this Agreement, the WA NDIS authority will need: access to data from WA and Commonwealth governments that is in the form, and quality, required to support the transition of people in existing programs into the NDIS; including data from current programs that allows the WA NDIS authority and governments to understand the characteristics of clients and the support they receive, and to remove potential double counts for transitioning clients; and to establish mechanisms to efficiently and effectively transfer information between the WA NDIS authority, stakeholders and providers that avoid regulatory burden on providers. The Parties recognise and support that to be able to operate in the market‑based system envisaged for the NDIS within the timeframes outlined for transition under this Agreement, providers and participants will need to be ready to move to the NDIS system at the point of transition consistent with Schedule B: Participant Transition Arrangements in Western Australia. For providers, this means they understand the costs of their business and are able to operate within a contestable environment and interact with the WA NDIS authority; and For participants, this means being ready to undertake goal-based planning and exercise control and choice over the supports they receive. The Parties agree that existing funding and contracting arrangements and the Sector Development Fund will be used to build readiness in the following areas: building participant capacity for choice and control; developing the capacity of providers to participate in a more contestable market; and workforce growth and development. The Parties are committed to leveraging existing government inves...
Cash and In-Kind Contributions. The Parties agree to work towards ceasin in-kind contributions to the NDIS by the end of the transition period, and where possible cash out in-kind programs to accelerate the transition from in-kind services to cash contributions. The Parties agree that where it is not possible to cash out programs before they transition to the NDIS, they will: ensure that contracts with providers can be adjusted to facilitate the cashing out of programs once the transition to the scheme has commenced; and consider whether the remainder of the contract can be novated to the WA NDIS authority and, where contract novation occurs, provide funding to the WA NDIS authority at the value of the novated contract on a monthly basis (or as otherwise agreed with the WA NDIS authority) until the contract terminates. In-kind contributions during transition will be based on the agreed current cost of delivering the services.

Cash and In-Kind Contributions. The Parties agree to minimise in-kind contributions to the NDIS, and where possible cash out in-kind programmes to accelerate the transition from in-kind services to cash contributions. The Parties agree that where it is not possible to cash out programmes before they transition to the NDIS, they will: ensure that contracts with providers can be adjusted to facilitate the cashing out of programmes once the transition to the scheme has commenced, where reasonable; and consider whether the remainder of the contract can be novated to the NDIA and, where contract novation occurs, provide funding to the NDIA at the value of the novated contract on a monthly basis (or as otherwise agreed with the NDIA) until the contract terminates. SA’s in-kind contribution includes the costs of SA-provided specialist disability accommodation. This could include existing and new specialist accommodation, on the basis that investment in new stock aligns with the agreed Specialist Disability Accommodation Pricing and Payments Framework and is undertaken in consultation with the NDIA. The balance of cash and in-kind contributions during the transition period will be finalised by March 2016 and included as a revision to this Schedule. The pricing and value of any in-kind contributions at full scheme will be separately agreed by June 2018. Full scheme Arrangements If South Australia continues to provide in-kind contributions to the NDIS from Intergovernmental payments at full scheme, adjustments to funding arrangements will be made to allow the Intergovernmental payments to be ceased by 1 July 2018 and to ensure that overall funding to the NDIS is unchanged. It is expected that full scheme funding arrangements for South Australia will commence from 1 July 2018. From 2018-19, South Australia will contribute its fixed $723 million (indexed at 3.5 per cent per annum) to the NDIS, but if the transition of existing clients into the scheme is not complete: South Australia will recover from the NDIA all costs associated with existing clients who have not entered the scheme; and the Commonwealth may also make adjustments to its full scheme contribution to reflect ongoing support needs outside of the NDIS. Funding arrangements for full scheme also need to consider any changes for full scheme by governments arising from new policy design (such as quality and safeguards and housing), scheme experience and the 2017 Productivity Commission review of scheme costs. The parties agree that a funding...
