Mental health service providers will be ready to offer the best care when it comes to transitioning over to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), thanks to a $10 million investment from the Andrews Labor Government.<\/p>\n
Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams, today announced mental health service provider Ermha as one of 18 organisations to receive a funding boost through the NDIS Transition Support Package.<\/p>\n
Ermha will receive $506,000 for three projects to develop workforce capability and new business systems for client management, billing and booking, to manage the cost of doing business in the NDIS.<\/p>\n
It will also help projects responding to significant workforce challenges such as increasing the mental health and disability workforce and retraining existing staff to adapt to the NDIS delivery model.<\/p>\n
The NDIS Transition Support Package will be provided over two years to help organisations adapt their business models and organisational capability, to ensure they operate efficiently as a NDIS-funded service provider.<\/p>\n
The Labor Government has provided a further $10 million over two years in the Victorian Budget 2018\/19<\/em> to support the wider disability sector, including support for people from Aboriginal communities and diverse backgrounds to overcome barriers to transition, and improvements to hospital discharge processes.<\/p>\n Since 2016, we have invested more than $40 million in the NDIS Transition Support Packages program and have extended transition support to the end of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mental health service providers will be ready to offer the best care when it comes to transitioning over to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), thanks to a $10 million investment from the Andrews Labor Government.
