24.12Can you confirm the Remote or Very Remote areas in Annex A to the Statement of Requirements with respect to the Far North and West of the state of South Australia for ECEI Partners?
The Remote and Very Remote areas of South Australia are set out in Part C of Annex A to the Statement of Requirements. These areas apply to both LAC and ECEI Services.
24.13Clause 3.2.6 Annex E to the Statement of Requirements (ECEI Services) refers to the need for an office location in the Service Area for meeting families. Does this mean there are a minimum of 12 offices required in South Australia?
Clause 2.10.1 of the Statement of Requirements and clause 3.2.6 of Annex E to the Statement of Requirements (ECEI Services) require an ECEI partner to have at least one permanent premises in each Service Area.
While the whole of the State of South Australia will generally be treated as a single "Service Area" for the purposes of ECEI Services, the NDIA would expect that the ECEI Partner has at least one permanent premises in each of the twelve Service Areas in South Australia (as identified in the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth and the State of South Australia for Transition to a National Disability Insurance Scheme at https://www.coag.gov.au/node/530).
