15.17How do we interpret the numbers in the Pricing Schedule response? Looking at the Participant Volumes at June 2018 of 9,681 – this is the number that the Market Position Statement document states will be at June 2019.
Is the total in the Market Position Statement incorrect – i.e. Should the total by June 2019 be 16,700 or is the pricing response schedule incorrect and the numbers should be 7,067 by June 18 and 9,681 by June 19?
Just not sure how to position workforce numbers as unsure how many people are estimated to require the services in total:
If in the second year (2018/19) another 7,076 are coming on then how do we account for some clients in year 1 requiring additional assistance (i.e. is the total potential for contacts up to 16,700 if everyone had a question?)
Or are the numbers reflecting an assumption that the estimated total people accessing the NDIS in Northern region will be signed up and in the system by June 2018 and the 7,076 is repeat visits, further clarifications, and general support for people in the system??
Applicants are required to respond based on the information in the Partners in the Community Program Funding Round One documentation, including Attachment 2 – Pricing Response Schedule. The Market Position Statement does not form part of this documentation.
The Participant volumes outlined in Attachment 2- Pricing Response Schedule is a simple aggregation to enable summary calculations, it would be more accurate to refer to Annex A for Participant volume disaggregation and information by service functions. Part A of Annex A reflects ‘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 LGA 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 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.
