9/11/2021
The Department of Social Services (DSS) has released the latest draft version of the DES Formal Performance Assessment Industry Information Paper. The proposed timetable for the performance assessment reflects feedback lodged via submissions from interested parties in response to the draft Industry Information Paper released in July 2021. Changes to the performance assessment include it being deferred by six months, as advocated by NDS in our submission in response in July 2021.
The December 2021 Star Ratings and notification of in-scope services will be released to DES provider CEOs in mid-February 2022. The closing date and time for mitigating circumstances submissions will be ten business days after the notification of in-scope services.
