Draft Allocation of Places in Supported Accommodation policy and procedures - pdf, when finalised, will replace the existing Placement of Clients in Group Homes policy, in line with the commitment made under Stronger Together, a new direction for disability services in NSW 2006-2016.
DADHC has reviewed and taken into consideration the many submissions made in relation to the draft policy during the six week public consultation process.
The Minister requested that the draft policy be re-drafted to take account of this initial feedback. The updated draft policy reflects the concerns and suggestions made by many people including carers, advocates and service providers. A Round Table was held on 31 October 2008 to discuss the revised draft policy.
The report from the Round Table, a list of Round Table participants, a summary of policy changes, and a summary of other feedback received on the policy are available for information.
The policy is still being finalised and will be posted on the website in due course.
The intent of the draft Allocation of places in supported accommodation policy is to seek balance in the allocation of the Government’s limited resources in the most beneficial way for the community.
