Tell the Minister and ADHC about our priorities for the implementation of Stronger Together 2

The Minister for Disability Services, Peter Primrose and senior ADHC staff are leading community information sessions around the state during February and March. This provides an opportunity to send a clear message complimenting the general direction of Stronger Together 2 and reinforcing our campaign priorities.

Family Advocacy and InControl Australia have launched a campaign to promote the implementation of the Stronger Together2 commitments to Self Directed Support:

Campaign Priorities

Priority 1: Providing all existing and new users of government and non government disability services the opportunity to direct their own support.

We will be looking to ensure that:

• people who want control over their resources have the opportunity at the earliest time;
• individualised portable funding arrangements translate into choice, voice and control.

Priority 2: Providing decision making support that is independent of government and service providers.

We will be working to ensure that:

• the ‘decision making resources’ are independent of government and service providers, able to be accessed easily and give the person with disability control

Priority 3: Transition support for services

We will be working to ensure that:

•   the voices of people with disability and families are heard in the process of service transformation.

Priority 4: Administrative processes consistent with a self directed approach.

We will be working to ensure that:

• the Stronger Together goal of “choice, portability and flexibility in funding and supports” means that people have control over how the money is used;
• government and service provider processes do not intrude into people’s lives; and
• there is a minimum of bureaucracy and paperwork.
