False
INFORMATION SHEET
Information for Residents: prepared by Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion (QAI) and Queenslanders with Disability Network (QDN)
ABOUT THE Inquiry
On 26 October 2023 the Legislative Assembly agreed to a motion that the Community Support and Services Committee inquire into and report on the provision and regulation of supported accommodation in Queensland.
The terms of reference call upon the Committee to consider
- residential services as defined under the Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002 and other shared living arrangements, including but not limited to:
- appropriateness of standards and their enforcement;
- provision of support services funded by the NDIS;
- provision of accommodation and support services to Queenslanders in this variety of settings, including if the current service delivery model by which level 3 residential services are provided is appropriate or alternative model/s that should be adopted and what role the NDIS should play in supporting these models;
- sustainability of proposed model/s, market constraints and potential impact on other government systems;
- resident wellbeing, including the differing needs of vulnerable population groups, and adequacy of current service delivery, quality and safeguards and oversight arrangements in place across all levels of government;
- the complex state and federal regulatory arrangements that apply.
- the Public Advocate’s report ‘Safe, secure and affordable’?: the need for an inquiry into supported accommodation in Queensland, its two overarching and 29 detailed questions;
- the views of residents and former residents, with a formal role for two independent non-government organisations to support residents to contribute their views on their services and support; and
- the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability and the Independent Review of the NDIS reports as appropriate.
