Notifiable instrument NI2006–109
made under the  
Financial Management Act 1996, s19D   Amendment of Performance Criteria
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Output 1.1 – Disability Services and Policy

Respite – in own home (number of hours) – The original target has been revised to include an increase in the number of hours associated with additional ACT/Commonwealth funding for Respite for Older Carers.

Strategic Indicator 4 – Improve developmental outcomes for children, young people and adults with physical, intellectual, communication and other functional difficulties

Number of clients accessing services – The original target was based on the number of ‘open cases’ for clients at a point in time (30 June).  This is not an accurate reflection of the actual number of clients who access therapy services as clients may also access the service through the Drop In Clinic or through a single assessment and intervention.  The revised target is a more accurate reflection of the number of clients who access the full range of therapy services during the year.
