17.5Can NDIA confirm that the available funding amounts shown across line 13 are nominal dollars for each period: i.e. include any indexation effects to each relevant period?
Refer to row 103 of the Pricing Response Schedule ‘Instructions’ tab – The charges will not be indexed during the Period of the Agreement as the available funds described in this Schedule already include indexation.
17.6Looking at the Pricing Response Schedule for Northern Adelaide, the funding allocated for the Jan-Mar 2017 quarter is $128,984. At this stage, according to Annex A, Part B to the SOR the LAC will be servicing 957 Prospective Participants LAC in Advance services (being 323 – Phasing Date July 2017, plus 317 – Phasing Date August 2017, plus 317 – Phasing date September 2017). This works out to be $134.70 per Prospective Participant funded for that quarter. Is this correct?
Any allocation of funding to LAC Services is a matter for the applicant, as is the choice of how to calculate and structure their Service Area Coordinator cost. In making this choice it will be important to consider all available information and all available funding. (For example, work undertaken in July 2017 will be undertaken with available funding for two quarters; January to March and April to June 2017.)
The available funding reflects the changes in expected workloads. Funds available in Northern Adelaide will need to be sufficient to provide: any LAC in Advance and Initial Plan and Implementation for new entrants to the NDIS; Plan Review and Full Scheme Planning for existing Participants in the NDIS who are transferring to the Partner for LAC Services; and a 20% work effort on delivering Information, Linkages and Capability Building to people with disability who are not Participants in the NDIS.
Applicant cost responses must be as per the direct and indirect cost categories identified in Pricing Response Schedule.
