Ms Rachel Cassen:

As we are all aware, the demonstration pilot project on personalised budgets has floundered due to lack of resources and Covid. The evaluation may show quite poor results. We urge this committee, however, to recommend that legislation be developed to establish a right to individualised funding for children and adults eligible for disability support. We have written to the CRPD to this effect through the list of issues. I will make further comments when invited.
