Dear
Practitioner,
We
are pleased to advise you about additional funding we have received for the
next two financial years. This funding is the result of a Whole of Government
budget bid to continue to provide a range of supports for Victorians who do not
meet the NDIS eligibility criteria, or where the NDIS cannot support a
participant's outcomes with supports under the NDIS.
The
additional funding will be targeted specifically for the consumer cohort
seeking support through VA&EP who are aged under 65 years and ineligible for
support through the NDIS.
What
this means is that you may notice these consumers receive access to our funding
more quickly than others, regardless of their priority.
Please
ensure that you continue to provide advice to us in your applications for this
consumer cohort that they are ineligible for NDIS support.
If
you have any queries in relation to this communique please do not hesitate to
contact us via email on swep@bhs.org.au
