ResourcesReport - NDIS Quarterly Report: Quarter 3, 2014-15
Every three months the NDIS releases a report about how the trial sites are going. This is called the Quarterly Report.
Yesterday Assistant Minister for Social Services Mitch Fifield announced that the NDIS have just released a new Quarterly Report, which shows that the NDIS is being delivered on time, within budget, and with high satisfaction from the people who use it.
Assistant Minister Fifield also said there would be more information about how the NDIS will be rolled out available in August 2015.
The picture below shows lots of facts and figures from the Quarterly Report. There are 16,649 people with disability who are using the NDIS, with a 95% satisfaction rate. Continure reading below the image for a transcript of the infographic.

On time
16,649 people have become participants in the NDIS
13, 610 people have individualised plans, helping then change their lives by accessing the supports and services they need to live more independently and engage with their community.
Within budget
$754.0m has been committed for participant support to date.
In addition to package costs, $46.2m has been committed to research and innovation projects.
Note that the total cost of investment and innovation funds has decreesed since the last quarter. This is a result of ongoing re-estimation of costs and is attributable to the Sector Development Fund administration moving to the Department of Social Services and changes in cost estimates for some projects, as well as some projects no longer going forward.
High satisfaction
Image - chart displaying 0-100%; purple line at the 95% mark.
