The package consists of $12,000 which must be used by the time the child is aged 7. The package can be used on approved early intervention services and equipment.

4 Individual Support Packages Individuals with autism in Victoria between the age of 5 and 65 are entitled to apply to the department of human services for an Individual Support Package (ISP.) Children under the age of 5 can access a flexible support package which provides case management. The ISP is to pay for the supports the person has in the community or in their home. An ISP can be used to pay for Respite In home support Post school options such as day services Equipment needs Case management ISP s are reviewed regularly and a person may have to re-apply for ongoing support Funding for an ISP can be paid directly to an agency or to the person but must be managed within the program guidelines and approved/audited. The process for gaining an ISP can be difficult for most families and individuals to negotiate. To apply for an ISP the DHS first needs to confirm Eligibility- that the person has a confirmed diagnosis of a disability and is eligible under the Disability Act for services Needs- that the person has genuine needs that cannot be met by any other existing services or funding packages. The family/individual and either their case worker, representative from a service provider or person from the DHS will need to complete an application for the ISP which specifically lists the persons care needs, length of time supports are required and the anticipated cost of the needs. The application is then sent to a review panel which will allocate funding based on needs to individuals. For further information regarding and ISP or to apply for an ISP please see Phone intake and response on Or talk to your autism service provider. 4
5 Centrelink Centrelink payments There are a variety of Centrelink assistance payments are available for carers of a person with autism/disability. Eligibility for payment varies and it is best to make an appointment with Centrelink to discuss your individual circumstances. Some of the payments are means tested and will require you to supply information about your income and assets and supporting documentation from your child s paediatrician or GP may be required. Payments available include: Carer Payment (children under 16 years with a disability) Carers payment (caring for someone over 16 years) Carers allowance (child under 16) Carers allowance (person over 16) Carers supplement Disability Support Pension Child Disability Assistance Payment Concession cards For further information about disability and carer payments please contact Cetrelink Centrelink carers line
6 Disability Care Australia (The National Disability Insurance Scheme ) DisabilityCare Australia is the National Disability Insurance scheme. It will support people with permanent and significant disability, their families and carers. The scheme is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability that involves more choice and control and a lifetime approach to a person s support needs. Support for people with disability participating in the scheme will be based on their individual needs, goals and aspirations. DisabilityCare Australia will work with every person who participates in the scheme by: discussing individual goals and support needs helping develop a personalised plan considering the supports needed to strengthen family and informal caring arrangements and connecting the participants to mainstream services and community supports. If you have a disability that means you require some assistance, we may also be able to help by telling you about relevant government and community services in your area. You may be able to access the scheme if you have a permanent disability and: you can t join in activities or do things without assistive technology, equipment or home modifications or you usually need support from other people to join in activities or do things at home or in the community. You may meet the early intervention requirements if: you or your child have a permanent disability or your child has a developmental delay and there is evidence that shows getting early supports will reduce how much help you or your child need to do things in the future. You will also need to be aged under 65 when you first become a participant with DisabilityCare Australia. Depending on where you live, there may be other age and residence requirements during the first stage of DisabilityCare Australia. Disability Care Australia is being rolled out in stages because it s a big change to the current system. We are introducing it gradually to make sure we get it right and to ensure it s sustainable. The first stage will be launched from July 2013 in four locations, and will help around 26,000 people with a permanent and significant disability. Locations that start from July 2013 are: Hunter area, New South Wales (including Newcastle) Barwon area, Victoria (including Geelong) South Australia (for children) Tasmania (for young people). Locations that start from July 2014 are: Australian Capital Territory Barkly area, Northern Territory.(including Tennant Creek) The scheme will continue to extend to more locations.
