Disability Support Services (DSS) would like to thank all the organisations who participated in the Request for Application (RFA) external process to join a panel of providers for residential services.
DSS received a significant number of applications from both incumbent and new providers.
To process these as quickly as possible, we are taking a staged approach to reviewing, endorsing, and approving these applications.
Over the coming weeks DSS will be communicating with providers on an individual basis to let them know the outcome of the RFA process. We will also be providing information to incumbent providers to let them know the financial impact of the new model on their organisations.
The new Panel Agreement will incorporate the rates set out in the Community Group Home Pricing Model. These final rates are included in the Global Pricing Tool factsheet, which is available on the DSS website external.
