Summary 2: Moving from WA NDIS to NDIS
2.1 Time frame
“My way system”其实就是 NDIS计划的前身， 由前残疾服务委员会推出。这一系统包
含了个性化资助和地方协调来支持残疾人的生活。 ‘My Way’ became the WA NDIS in
July 2014.(p.15)
再双边协议中，对转移做出了基本的安排，：
1. contribution 支付： From 1 July 2020, each party is required to pay an equal 50%
contribution. Bilateral Agreement requires the State to pay financial contributions
based on a minimum estimated number of Western Australians being on the NDIS
(州政府支付比例下调到 50%， 并且要求至少要按照预计的最低使用人数来支
付) （p.5 + see table 2）
2. target 目标人数：WA NDIS were expected to transfer by 31 December 2018. The
Bilateral Agreement estimated this to be 8,711 people, 但是没有实现延期了
Communities and the NDIA revised the final transfer numbers down to 7,597 based
on operational experience leaving 262 WA NDIS participants still to move onto the
NDIS. The revision did not include amendments to the Bilateral Agreement.（p.19）
issue of paying non-participation 但是由于转移人数不如预期， 州政府面临为没有使用的
参与者支付 50%的风险。 DPC and Treasury have told us that WA’s financial contributions
from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023 will be based on the actual number of participants in the
scheme, rather than what is documented in the Bilateral Agreement, and that the State will not
be required to pay for non-participants. However, at the time of the audit this remains to be
formalised in documentation with the Commonwealth. (p.5 更多可以查看 p.15/p.19)
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is now responsible for delivering the
NDIS in all states and territories across Australia, and assumed full responsibility for the
administration of NDIS in WA from 1 July 2018. The NDIA is a Commonwealth
organization established under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (the
Act). However, the State, through the Department of Communities, continued to deliver the
WA NDIS to existing participants and other state-funded support services until the WA
NDIS ended in 2019. (p.3) 在转移之前是西澳社区部负责WA NDIS的计划的，转向
NDIS之后由NDIA负责计划的实施和运行。 ?
