No. Support is based on each person’s goals, and what is deemed reasonable and necessary – so it’s different from person to person.

We’re not sure how new accommodation and respite facilities will be provided yet, as the N does not have block funds to purchase or build new services. There is a specialist taskforce looking at broader residential options. Better residential options and a more responsive funding model may mean that some people will be able to keep living at home comfortably. We offer some respite options. Contact us.

In order to be considered reasonable and necessary, a support must:

• be related to the participant’s disability
• not include day-to-day living costs that are not related to a participant’s disability support needs
• represent value for money
• be likely to be effective and beneficial to the participant, and
• take into account informal supports given to participants by families, carer, networks, and the community.
