Launch
112. All States endeavour to agree minimum benchmarks to provide no-fault lifetime care and support for people who are catastrophically injured in motor vehicle accidents prior to the commencement of the NDIS launch.
113. If a host jurisdiction is unable to implement minimum benchmarks prior to or during launch, that host jurisdiction will be responsible for 100 per cent of the cost of participants in the NDIS who are in the NDIS because they are not covered by an existing or new injury insurance scheme that meets the minimum motor vehicle benchmarks.
a. During launch, NDIS supports will be provided to people in launch sites who would otherwise have been supported by a National Injury Insurance Scheme (NIIS) if the NIIS had been established for those catastrophically injured through workplace accidents, medical accidents, and criminal and general accidents (occurring in the home or community).
Full scheme
114. All jurisdictions endeavour to agree minimum benchmarks to provide no-fault lifetime care and support for people who are catastrophically injured through workplace accidents, medical accidents, and criminal and general accidents (occurring in the home or community) by commencement of the NDIS full scheme.
115. Noting that a new Agreement will be agreed with all jurisdictions for the NDIS full scheme, the Commonwealth’s position is that on commencement of the NDIS full scheme individual jurisdictions will be responsible for 100 per cent of the cost of participants in the NDIS who are in the NDIS because they are not covered by an existing or new injury insurance scheme that meets the minimum benchmarks for motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, medical accidents, and criminal and general accidents (occurring in the home or community).
