Boost For Disability Services
Type: Union News Subject: Disability Nurses
7 July 2006
The NSWNA has welcomed a State government announce-ment of a new plan with a major increase in funding to support people with disabilities.
Stronger together: a new direction for disability services 2006-2016 is a NSW government plan to change the way people with a disability are supported.
The government says it has three aims:
Strengthening families – enabling children with a disability to grow up in a family and participate in the community;
Promoting community inclusion – supporting adults with a disability to live in and be part of the community;
Improving the system’s capacity and accountability – fairer and clearer ways to access services, greater accountability and more opportunities for innovation.
The Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care has agreed to a request for joint consultation with the NSWNA on implementing the plan.
