Changes to the Specialist Disability Accommodation Rules
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (Specialist Disability Accommodation) Rules (the SDA Rules) 2020 are being updated to insert a definition of ‘in-kind supports.’ Currently, for the purposes of the SDA Rules, the expression ‘in-kind supports’ is defined with reference to the definition of ‘in-kind supports’ in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Plan Management) Rules 2013.
To remedy this potential legislative gap, this amendment inserts a definition for the expression ‘in-kind supports’ in to the Specialist Disability Accommodation Rules. This definition is identical to the definition of ‘in-kind supports’ in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Plan Management) Rules 2013.
As the wording of this definition is identical that which appeared in the Plan Management Rules there is no change to the operation of the Specialist Disability Accommodation Rules or their effect.
