Unit Prices for Disability Services Activities 2010-11
The Victorian Government approved a 3.14 per cent price index each year for the three year service agreement period (1 July 2009 to 30 June 2012). Unit prices for Department of Human Services Disability Services have subsequently increased effective 1st July 2010.
The unit prices apply to all individually funded activities including Support and Choice, Futures for Young Adults Years 1 to 11, Community Options, Day Programs for individual/portable arrangements, HomeFirst, Respite and My Future My Choice support programs. From 1 July 2008 these different packages were streamlined into one Individualised Support Package with a single set of guidelines and processes. Funding will continue to be based on the unit prices contained in the Disability Services Policy and Funding Plan 2006-09 except for the following changes.
