LINKAGE PROJECT – 2013 to 2016
Arose from doctoral study on end-of-life care in community living services.
Findings included:
- Staff unanimous that people with intellectual disability should know about dying.
- In practice staff offer limited opportunity.
- People with intellectual disability are exposed to dying and death.
- Concerns around capacity to understand.
- Staff untrained about dying and death.
Implications:
- No opportunity for self-determination about own dying/ confusion/ fear.
- Staff distress about honouring dying person.
A toolkit to build the capacity of disability staff to assist adults with intellectual disability to understand and plan for their end of life

The ICF and the NDIS work stream
24
25
Outline
1. Why the ICF
2. Current directions in health – and where the ICF fits
3. ICF use worldwide - overview
4. Future directions in measurement, Environmental Factors, NDIS
26
Health as a global notion
WHO 1947:
Health = Absence of disease
Health = Complete physical, psychological, spiritual and social
well being
‘… health is both a matter of how long one lives and how well one lives
(i.e. one’s level of functioning)’
(Üstün et al 2003)
27
Health Condition (disorder/disease)
ICF: Interaction of concepts
Environmental Factors
Personal Factors
Body function & structure
(Impairment)
Activities(Limitation)
Participation(Restriction)
27
Principles and features of the ICF
› Universality. Applicable to all people irrespective of health condition and in all physical, social and cultural contexts. The ICF concerns everyone’s functioning and disability, was not designed, nor should be used, to label persons with disabilities as a separate social group.
› Parity - aetiological neutrality. There is not an explicit or implicit distinction between different health conditions, whether ‘mental’ or 'physical'. Knowing the health condition does not imply that disability is known.
› Neutrality. Domain definitions are worded in neutral language, wherever possible, so that the classification can be used to record both the positive and negative aspects of functioning and disability.
› Environmental Influence. The ICF includes environmental factors in recognition of the important role of environment in people’s functioning. Interaction with environmental factors – physical, social, attitudinal – is an essential aspect of the scientific understanding of functioning and disability.
28
ICF is interactive and probabilistic
29
ICD Mortality data
Morbidity data
ICF Functioning and disability data
ICD + ICF
Health and health-related data
WHO recommends using ICF and ICD together
30
ICF application worldwide
› Surveys – national and international
› National data collections
› Health measurement and assessment
› Rehabilitation management, evaluation and casemix
› Research into functioning and disability
› Education of health professionals
› Social security systems
› Community care and support
› Education systems: assessment and planning
› World Report on Disability
› Monitoring the UN Convention
› Active WHO classification Network (WHO-FIC)
31
Current directions in health and disability
The context
Population growth and ageing
Increasing chronic disease
Advances in technology
Workforce shortages in many countries
Health inequalities
Some new directions
Person, family, community, environment
Maintenance of health, quality of life, participation and inclusion
Continuum of care (integrated approach)
Access by all
International recognition of potential value of CBR
Functioning a core concept for integrated services
Person in environment, community
Family
Disability services
Other services and equipment
Multiple health services
32
The person, their environment, the service system
CDRP - NDIS stream: Measurement of functioning
› Australian searches for appropriate measures for NDIS and hospital pricing unsuccessful
- Many tools unsuitable for large, diverse populations
- Narrow in focus – to one condition or set of symptoms
- Not covering all ICF components, domains
- Proprietary
› Around the world
- Similar consideration occurring, in various countries, of generic ICF-based instruments, public good
› Working with people in Medical Faculty (and we hope funders)
- Collaborative action research to develop and test a generic ICF-based instrument
- International reference group
- Hope to advertise EOI for a Research Assistant in coming months

Costs and Financing for the NDIS
36
37
National Disability Insurance Scheme
Professor Richard Madden & Ros Madden
Aims:
› 1) Play a role in the development and implementation of the NDIS
- Design issues e.g . interface with other systems
- Impacts on specific population groups
- Workforce
› 2) Assessment issues, resource allocation and individual planning in relation to the NDIS
- Measurement and data development
38
NDIS is essential and overdue
› Rights of people with disabilities are paramount
› Too many have no or inadequate support services
› Families and carers need support
› People will be able to purchase their own services
› Disability services workers deserve proper recognition and pay
› Disability services sector has to adapt
39
Outline
› The costs of the NDIS
› Financing
› Possible sources of increased cost
› Possible responses to contain costs
› Needs of service providers
40
Costs of the NDIS: Productivity Commission
› July 2011
› 410,000 expected participants
› Annual net cost in 2018-19 (current dollars):
- $5.0 – 8.0 billion, mid point $6.5 billion (P 779)
41
Costs of the NDIS: Australian Government Actuary
› February 2012
› Amendments to PC costings:
- Reduction in offsets ($500 million)
- Allowance for SaCS award (February 2012)
› Annual net cost: $6.5 – 7.0 billion before SaCS award allowance
› Annual net cost: $7.5 billion after allowing for SaCS award
42
Costs of the NDIS: 2013 Commonwealth Budget
› 460,000 expected participants
› Full implementation by 1 July 2019
› No clear statement of full implementation net costs
› $6.2 billion in new Commonwealth money in 2018-19
› A chart in Disability Care Australia May 2013 (part of the Budget papers) indicates new Commonwealth funding around $8 billion in 2019-20, the first full year of implementation
43
Financing
› 0.5% levy on taxable incomes (extension of Medicare levy)
- will raise $3.3 billion in 2014-15
- to be paid into a Disability Fund (hypothecated)
› States receive 25% of this, for use in funding the NDIS
› States are to transfer current funding progressively to the Commonwealth as they vacate disability services
› Commonwealth share of the levy ($15.9 billion) will more than fund additional NDIS costs up to 2018-19 ($14.3 billion): Macklin et al press release, 1 May 2013
› From 2020-21 onwards, Disability Care Australia May 2013 shows NDIS is fully funded by levy and savings measures
44
Possible sources of increased cost
› Bruce Bonyhady, Chairman, DisabilityCare Australia, 23 June 2013
1. Ensure eligibility boundaries and reasonable and necessary supports are maintained and not widened
2. Complementary systems (health, education, aged care, employment, transport) must not shift costs to NDIS
3. Ensure a competitive market for disability service provision to contain service delivery costs
University submission to Senate Committee on Community Affairs, February 2013
4. Uncertainty over individual funding: Assessments of entitlements is ‘bottom up’, with no priority setting mechanism; ‘reference packages’ of services are meant to contain cost, but mechanisms are unclear
45
Some options to contain costs
› Keep States financially involved
› Casemix development
› Reform injury compensation
46
Keep States financially involved
› Many of the complementary systems are State domains: health, education, housing
› Therefore having States at least partially responsible for NDIS expenditure would reduce cost shifting incentives and permit more coordinated cross sector planning
› People with complex needs require support from multiple sectors, so outcomes could be improved, as well as costs contained
› Would also avoid the waste involved in dismantling State administration systems
47
Casemix funding
› Well accepted for hospital in-patients
› National health reform process built around National Efficient Prices (NEPs) for each casemix group
› Each casemix group is largely determined by the characteristics of the patient, notably health conditions
› As experience builds on costs for various assessment levels, a similar process, based on assessment of functioning rather than health conditions, could be developed for NDIS determination of the amount of funding for reasonable and necessary support
› Specific circumstances (environment of the client) could be handled through additional payments
48
Reform injury compensation
› Chapter 17 of the Productivity Commission systematically described the flaws of existing injury compensation systems, especially those based on fault: ‘a no fault system can deliver nearly 33% more services than the fault based system for the same price’ (P 847)
› An NIIS would leave boundaries with the NDIS, and would not deal with the worst fault based systems such as medical indemnity
› The NDIS has left state based compensation systems the first source of support for injured people: NDIS is a secondary scheme.
› Possible reform steps:
- (Ideal) Make NDIS the primary support scheme, with Cwlth/State financial adjustments
- Work with States to eliminate fault based compensation, with savings dedicated to NDIS financing
- Bar heads of damages for domains covered by NDIS
49
Financial impacts of NDIS for service providers
› Existing service providers are NGOs, with limited sources of funding
› The sector has strongly advocated for the NDIS, and supports it
› NDIS will require service providers to sell services, needing good billing systems and substantial working capital
› This will put great pressure on many service providers: opportunities for alliances on back office costs, marketing, branding, etc
› Initial prices offered to NGOs are uneconomic
› Could be exacerbated by new entrants to the sector
50
Conclusion
› NDIS is a wonderful social development for Australia:
- the Centre for Independent Studies sees the NDIS as ‘another Medicare’ (high praise from such a source): CIS Policy Monograph 131, 2012
› There are opportunities for creative approaches and further reform of related systems
› Active examination of financial progress, and continuing policy development and reform, are essential so that the NDIS can achieve its potential.

Disability and Development
Professor Gwynnyth Llewellyn & Ros Madden
The questions we want to answer
How do we prevent and respond to the disability consequences of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, road accidents, natural disasters, diet and substance abuse?
What models can we develop to support and empower people with disabilities in both community and specialist services?
How can we make these models accessible to policy makers in those countries?
What is the experience of people with disabilities of institutional and community-based rehabilitation? What are the respective benefits
