"Stronger Together" Program is not affected by the NSW mini-budget

The NSW Minister for Disability Services, Paul Lynch, wrote yesterday to organisations interested in people with disabilities living in NSW:

As you may be aware, the NSW Government today delivered a mini-Budget in response to the State’s changing economic circumstances.

I am pleased to tell you that the Government’s $1.3 billion Stronger Together program has not been affected by the mini-Budget.

The Rees Government is aware of its responsibility to deliver on its commitments to provide better support and services for the most vulnerable people in our communities and these will continue over the first five years of the Stronger Together program.
