32.15What is the rationale behind the fluctuations in the phasing of Participants set out in Annex A to the Statement of Requirements?
The fluctuations in phasing of Participants reflects the requirements in the relevant Bilateral Agreement for Transition to a National Disability Insurance Scheme between the Commonwealth and the relevant State These agreements provide for the number of Participants who must enter the Scheme in each quarterly period.
32.16Is there any flexibility to negotiate the Participant volumes to enable employment service continuity and continued engagement of LACs and ECEI Coordinators, management of training etc. during the whole contract period?
See Question 28.16. The required number of Participants for each quarter reflects the requirements in the relevant Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth and the relevant State. The NDIA is not in a position to vary these required numbers.
