As a nation, funding will increase from around $8 billion a year to around $22 billion when it's fully rolled out. The NDIA, in response to feedback from participants and providers that their experience was not meeting the high standards expected, undertook the pathways review. In response to that review, the agency has been developing and trialling a new model which includes more face-to-face planning to ensure people are listened to and, as a result, receive better quality plans and a more consistent point of contact as well as clearer communication to participants. The authority and the government are committed to ensuring that the NDIS is rolled out and that people get the support and service that they're entitled to. I thank the honourable member for his question.
