For the three Queensland Service Areas with the Phasing Date of February 2017 for LAC Services (being Townsville, Mackay and Toowoomba), interim community and Participant readiness supports have been implemented by the NDIA. Any successful Partner in these three Service Areas will not be expected to provide LAC in Advance Services during the period prior to February 2017.
It is expected that a successful Partner would establish Service capabilities between the period of contract signing and February 2017. Also note, that for February 2017 a successful Partner will be responsible for Initial Plan and Implementation for 649 people becoming Participants, and provide services as required to the remaining 619 Participants who transitioned into the NDIS prior to February 2017 and are shown in the figure for Ongoing Participants.
