Some more info on the disability orgs getting money to get “prepared” for the NDIS … (I honestly fail to see how a sheltered workshop needs help to get ready)
Sixty-four organisations will receive grants of up to $30,000 from the Australian Government to help them get ready for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, Senator Jan McLucas said the NDIS Readiness Fund is part of the Australian Government’s $3.1 million investment to help Australian Disability Enterprises prepare for reform.
“A National Disability Insurance Scheme will significantly change how we deliver disability care and support across the country,” Senator McLucas said.
“We want all areas of the disability sector to be ready to make the change, including our Australian Disability Enterprises, which employ more than 20,000 Australians with disability.
“These grants will help Australian Disability Enterprises, including smaller, regional businesses, prepare for the changes by helping with the costs of new upgrades to computer software and information technology, training and information services, and new equipment.
