Disability Services Sector Reform

The purpose of Sector Reform is to review and reshape the existing disability service system in Tasmania, to ensure its viability in the longer term, and to make services more accessible to people with disabilities and their families.

Sector Reform is a response to the Disability Sector Strategic Plan, 1999 – 2004, and to concerns about the vulnerable financial status of some funded service providers.

It is intended that Sector Reform address these issues and bring about real change in the Disability Sector.

The main objectives of Sector Reform are:

To establish a service system which provides people with disabilities and their families, with easy access to information and services, and which is responsive to their individual needs.

To implement structures and strategies in the disability sector which clarifies the roles and responsibilities of service providers and ensures accountability in the way in which resources are expended.

To develop a service system which is financially viable in the longer term, and which provides people with disabilities and their families, with a sense of confidence about the reliability of their service networks.

To implement strategies which ensure effectively coordinated services to people with disabilities and their families, who concurrently access Disability Services and other state government services.
