15.12Is it possible to get LAC function Volumes separated out per Local Government Area (as with Initial Plan Volumes in Part A of Annex B to the SOR)? This would assist with staffing allocation decisions.
Due to the amount of information, Local Government Area detail has only been provided for LAC Initial Plan Volumes (as you have stated) and will not be provided for the other LAC functions.
15.13Does the reference in Part A of Annex B to the SOR refer to volume of people requiring an Initial Plan (eg: people who require LAC in Advance which includes initial Plan preparation) or does it refer to Participants who have an Initial Plan and require Plan implementation?
The NDIA has made the assumption you mean Part A of Annex A to the SOR (rather than Annex B). Part A volumes are for ‘Initial Plan and Implementation Support’, which reflect the number of Participants being phased into the NDIS in the month identified for plan approval, with additional Local Government Area detail. The volumes in Part A are also included in Part B, with Part B also including information on specific ‘LAC in Advance’, ‘Plan review and Full Scheme implementation support’, and ‘Number of ongoing Participants’.
The volumes for ‘Initial Plan and Implementation Support’ are different to ‘LAC in Advance’ because only Participants streamed as General and Supported receive LAC support for Initial Plans (i.e. people who are self-planning, or those streamed as Intensive, are not included). This information is included in the guidance text at the beginning of Annex A.
