Key messages
• State funding will be withdrawn from service providers progressively as their clients transition to the NDIS,
except in the case of Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC-PYP) where there is an
in-kind arrangement whereby HACC-PYP funds will be withdrawn in a single transaction three months after the
phase-in period for each area.
• Funding withdrawals will be backdated to the client’s NDIS plan approval date, through adjustments to future
payments.
• Individualised funding will be withdrawn on a pro-rata basis.
• Provision of accurate and up- to-date client data from service providers has a direct impact on funding
withdrawals. Service providers will have the opportunity to update their client data periodically, approximately
every four months.
• Disability block funding will be withdrawn on a state-wide average per activity, per provider basis (and prorated), or as a proportion of the cost of a house for Shared Supported Accommodation (and pro-rated). For
Mental Health Community Support Services a client funding average is calculated by catchment area, by
provider, by sub activity. Service providers’ client data is used to determine these averages.
• Client averages for block-funded activity withdrawals will be recalculated on 1 July and 1 December each year
and will use the most recent client data.
• Funding for 2017-18 has been confirmed for providers of Building Inclusive Communities (activity 17061) and
Information Services (activity 17033) to deliver Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) activities as
part of the NDIS.
• Some clients may transition to the NDIS ahead of their area or activity transition. Service providers should
register as a NDIS provider early so that they can claim payments promptly.

Overview
1. What are the key differences between the old and new approaches to service provider funding?
Currently, the state funds services through a mixture of individualised and block funding. Funding is provided in
advance on an annualised payment schedule.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will fund all services on an individual basis. Funding will be paid
in arrears, that is, after a service has been provided.
Service providers will be able to submit payment claims immediately after a service is provided (service providers
should refer to the NDIA website for more details on its portal payment process and timing).
2. How will state funding be withdrawn from service providers?
Individualised funding will be withdrawn on a pro-rata basis.
Disability block funding will be withdrawn on a state-wide average per activity, per provider basis (and pro-rated), or
a proportion of the cost of a house for Shared Supported Accommodation (and pro-rated). For Mental Health
Community Support Services a client funding average is calculated by catchment area, by provider, by sub activity.
For Home and Community Program for Younger People, funding will be reduced based on identified clients in the
NDIS State-wide Data Collection mapped to the HACC Minimum Dataset reports.
Pro-rated funding withdrawals are calculated from the NDIS participant’s plan approval date.
Funding for Building Inclusive Communities (activity 17061) and Information Services (activity 17033) forms part of
Victoria’s financial contribution to the NDIS, the Victorian Government has continued to fund all organisations
delivering these services in 2016-17. Funding for 2017-18 has been confirmed for providers of these two activities
to deliver Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) activities as part of the NDIS.
3. When will state funding be withdrawn from service providers?
State funding will, in effect, be withdrawn from the date a state client has an NDIS approved plan, except in the
case of Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC-PYP) where there is an in-kind
arrangement that means that HACC-PYP funds will be withdrawn in a single transaction three months after the
phase in period for each area has ended.
The transaction to reduce state funding will occur between one and three months after plan approval.
Funding reductions will be backdated to plan approval date and will result in a reduction to future payments.
The retrospective funding withdrawal will give providers some cash flow relief and allows sufficient time to begin
claiming payments from the NDIA.
State funding for in-scope services received by a client in the past 12 months will be withdrawn at the same time
(e.g. if a client receives an ISP and respite, funding for both services will be withdrawn simultaneously).
For block-funded activities and individualised funding, variations to service agreements have commenced for
clients who have transitioned to the NDIS. These variations will be reflected in future payments.
The timing and approach for the withdrawal of state funding for Planning (activity code: 17252), Training and
Development (activity code: 17064) and Industry Development and Innovation (activity code: 17080) will be
determined in the near future.
It should be noted that under the NDIS, participants are free to choose their own service provider.
Refer to Appendix B for examples of state funding withdrawal timing.
4. What happens if a client transitions ahead of their area or activity transition?
Some clients may transition early and funding withdrawals would occur sooner than service providers may have
expected. It is important that service providers consider the potential financial implications associated with clients
transitioning early and register as an NDIS provider early in order to claim payments from the NDIA and avoid
potential cash-flow issues.
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
3
For HACC-PYP clients that transition early, HACC-PYP funds will still be withdrawn at the end of the in-kind period.
During the interim period the department will continue to pay for HACC-PYP services. Service providers should not
allocate these funds to new clients with ongoing needs, as these funds will eventually be withdrawn. Service
providers should negotiate any alternate use of these funds with their relationship manager. Approved alternate
uses for these funds may include encouraging and supporting people to test eligibility with NDIS, supporting people
to prepare for their care plan meeting and addressing short term waiting list management issues.
5. How will state funding for each participant and service be determined?
The following methodology has been used to determine the state funding to be withdrawn for each activity:
Activities
Methodology
Shared Supported
Accommodation
(SSA)

Each SSA house has its own service agreement commitment.

The cost per person is calculated as the total cost of the house divided by the
number of clients identified as living in that dwelling in the last 12 months.
Individual Support
Packages (ISPs) and
Futures for Young
Adults (FFYA)

The individualised funding allocated to clients is used to determine the state
funding withdrawal.

To forecast the quantum of service provider funding which will be withdrawn, it
is assumed that this state funding is evenly distributed throughout the year and
has been pro-rated based on the timing of transition (i.e. monthly payment is
equal to the total state funding divided by 12 months).

When a client becomes a NDIS participant, the plan approval date is the end
date of the state funding.

This is the same process for state funding via a service agreement with a lead
agency, financial intermediary or direct payments to client.

For the purpose of withdrawing state funding, this funding has been notionally
allocated to clients based on a state-wide average cost for each service
provider to deliver a certain activity.

The total state-wide funding allocated to a service provider for a certain activity
has been divided by the total number of its clients for that activity to arrive at an
average cost per provider, per activity, per client. See Q.6 – Are block funded
averages recalculated from time to time?

An area-based average cannot be used as state funding for each activity is not
allocated solely within the department’s 17 geographical areas.
Mental Health
Community Support
Services (MHCSS)

MHCSS funds geographical catchment areas which are different to “DHHS”
areas.

A client funding average has been created by catchment area, by provider, by
sub activity (there are three MHCSS main activities in-scope for the NDIS,
namely Individualised Client Support Packages, Supported Accommodation
Services and Adult Residential Rehabilitation Services).
Home and
Community Care
Program for Younger
People (HACC-PYP)

All funds can be attributed to local government areas within an NDIA area.
State-wide Contracts

There are two approaches to withdraw the funding for state-wide contracts:

Where client information is available, the disability block-funded approach is
used; or

Where client information is not available (e.g. Aids and Equipment), the
estimated funding has been calculated for each provider by area. The timing of
state funding withdrawals will be agreed with each service provider in advance
for both direct and administrative funding.
Disability BlockFunded Activities
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
4
6. Are block-funded averages recalculated from time to time?
Yes - 1 July and 1 December each year to account for funding increases for the Equal Remuneration Order and
indexation. The number of clients (denominator) is derived by filtering the 'Date of Last Service column' in the Client
Data Collection Template for those clients who received a service in the 12 months prior to the data collection
submission (see section – Updating client data). A service provider's latest client data submission will be used to
recalculate block-funded averages on 1 July and 1 December each year through transition.
Client data refresh and recalculation of block funding averages from 1 July 2017
The updated block funding average will be based on the client data collected in May 2017 and the service
agreement funding for the provider and activity. The funding will include the July 2017 indexation (and will take
account of any prior year adjustments to be transacted in August 2017. The new averages will be used for funding
withdrawals relating to clients who transition from 1 July 2017.
7. Will a client’s funding be transferred to the NDIA as that client transitions to the NDIS?
Not directly.
State funding that is withdrawn from service providers will be part of Victoria’s financial contribution to the NDIS.
Individual NDIS packages costs will be determined by the NDIA on a case-by-case basis.
NOTE: the in-kind arrangements for HACC-PYP.
8. How will we know which clients have become NDIS participants or have been deemed ineligible?
NDIA provides Victoria with twice-monthly reports on clients’ NDIS transition progress.
The department, in turn, will generate provider reports which outline the status of clients at a point in time (e.g. plan
approved or access met) and the expected funding withdrawals that will result as a consequence of clients
becoming NDIS participants (based on the phasing schedule).
The provider reports (see Appendix C) are distributed to service providers through a secure online data room
(called SigBox), and to the relevant Program Adviser (PA) or Local Engagement Officer (LEO).
This secure online data room is the same facility used for state-wide client data collection submissions.
See the Provider Reports section below for more information on this topic.
Process
9. What will happen to funding withdrawals during the annual process for end of financial year, roll-over
and indexation?
The department’s ability to withdraw funding relating to the NDIS transition will be restricted during the annual
process to roll-over service agreements and apply indexation increases on the Service Agreement Management
System (SAMS).
Details regarding the timing of funding withdrawals over the June – October 2017 period are detailed below.
Reduction in individualised funding for Individual Support Packages and Futures for Young Adults
The withdrawal of individualised funding as clients become NDIS participants will continue each month.
Terminations of funding for ISPs and FFYAs related to clients who become NDIS participants up to 30 June 2017
will be processed as prior year adjustments and will be recouped from the next available payment.
Reduction in block funding for Disability and Mental Health Community Support Services - for clients who
become NDIS participants up to 30 June 2017
Block funding withdrawals for in-scope disability services activities, including disability Supported Accommodation,
and in-scope Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) will not be carried out in June or July 2017.
Withdrawals of block funding relating to clients who become NDIS participants up to 30 June 2017, and where
related funding has not yet been withdrawn, will be transacted in SAMS in August 2017.
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
5
These variations will be processed as prior year adjustments and will be recouped from the September 2017
payment.
These variations will use the 2016-17 block funding average for each provider and activity (and catchment area for
MHCSS).
Reduction in block funding for Disability and Mental Health Community Support Services - for clients who
become NDIS participants from 1 July 2017
Withdrawals of block funding related to clients who become NDIS participants from 1 July 2017 will commence on
SAMS in September 2017 and impact on provider payments and cashflow from October 2017.
These variations will be based on an updated block funding average calculated for each provider and activity (and
catchment area for MHCSS services).
10. What action should service providers take with unspent funding received from the Department of
Health and Human Services which is associated with their clients entering the NDIS?
Service providers should carry over any unspent funds into the 2017-18 financial year as the department will be
making retrospective service agreement variations back to a client's NDIS plan approval date.
This will impact on future payments or, where the service provider has insufficient departmental funding remaining,
require the provider to return funds requested via invoice.
Unspent funds should be available in an account from which the organisation can withdraw funds rather than a
trust account.
11. What happens if there are insufficient funds left to adjust future payments?
Future monthly payments to service providers will be reduced to account for clients who have transitioned to the
NDIS.
As departmental funding is withdrawn for clients who have become NDIS participants, a number of funding
variation scenarios may eventuate depending on the level and type of department funding remaining. This will be
reflected in where, and whether, the variation is processed within a provider’s service agreement/s.
For disability services activities, if there is insufficient funding left in the disability services funding but sufficient
departmental funding within the non-disability services agreement, a negative payment will be applied to an NDIS
Disability Services funding recoupment activity within an NDIS Transition Recoupment service plan in the nondisability services agreement. This will offset against payments within this agreement.
Where the service agreements between the department and service providers do not have sufficient funding to
offset the adjustment, an invoice will be issued to the provider for the repayment of this amount. Invoices will have
standard payment terms as per the existing service agreements.
A decision tree indicating the scenarios and the resultant withdrawal method are shown in Appendix A.
12. What if clients decide to move to a new service provider upon transition?
Service providers cannot claim payment from the NDIA for services to a particular NDIS participant if he or she has
changed providers.
Provider reports are a useful planning tool which enables providers to understand which clients have been
earmarked for plan approval – ‘Access met’ status means that they have been deemed eligible and will likely
transition soon.
Service providers are strongly encouraged to use the information in provider reports to facilitate conversations with
clients about their intentions regarding choice of service provider post transition.
13. How has information relating to clients who have been supported by a provider been collated?
Client data (including service details) from all service providers was collected through the state-wide client data
collection in October 2016 and uploaded to the department’s database. Service providers are now asked
periodically to review their client data and provide updates. See the Updating client data section for further details.
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
6
This client information is used to provide a client list to the NDIA, so that it can contact potential NDIS participants.
This information also enables the department to accurately determine the quantum of state funding to be withdrawn
from service providers, by client and by activity.
14. What if clients are not eligible to enter the NDIS?
Clients who are not eligible for the NDIS, such as those aged over 65 or those who do not meet the residency
requirements, will continue to receive services funded by the Victorian Government under continuity of support
arrangements. This includes clients under 65 accessing the Home and Community Program for Younger People.
Clients aged over 65 will transition to the Commonwealth continuity of support arrangements. The timing for this
transition is yet to be determined.
15. How can we ensure that as many clients as possible enter the NDIS before their 65th birthday?
Clients over the age of 65 are not eligible to enter the NDIS (although clients who turn 65 once in the Scheme will
have the option to remain within the Scheme).
Victoria and the Commonwealth have agreed that clients who are aged 64 at the time of their area’s transition will
be prioritised for access.
The NDIA will perform assessments and provide the necessary access for clients who are aged 64 up to six
months prior to their area rollout. Although access requests will be made earlier, the clients will transition into the
NDIS in line with the transition period. Once access is met, these clients will transition into the NDIS even if they
are 65 at the actual transition date.
Updating client data
16. How can service providers update the list of clients they support?
Service providers will be asked to update their client data periodically, approximately every four months.
The process for these periodic updates will be similar to the process undertaken for the state-wide client data
collection. Service providers will be supplied with a tailored spreadsheet (the Client Data Collection Template) that
will be pre-populated with client data previously supplied by the service provider. Each service provider will be
asked to add new department- funded clients and to update client details, as appropriate in the ‘Your Latest Client
Data’ worksheet.
The transfer of client data to and from service providers will continue to be made through the SigBox data room
facility.
Further details are available in the Client Data Refresh FAQs document.
17. Why is client data being updated approximately every four months?
There are three main reasons why client data is updated approximately every four months:

to ensure that eligible clients do not miss out on streamlined access to the NDIS

so service providers can identify when clients have become NDIS participants, and therefore can
commence invoicing the NDIA for services provided to those clients

accurate and up-to-date client data ensures that block funding withdrawals are calculated with precision.
18. Are service providers that are solely funded for Home and Community Care - Program for Younger
People (HACC-PYP) required to update their client data?
Yes. These service providers will be asked to identify their clients who are likely to be eligible for the NDIS.
Unlike other service providers, service providers that are solely funded for HACC-PYP will only be asked to
participate in periodic data updates ahead of area transition based on where the clients they service are residing.
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
7
19. Should service providers alert the department when a client passes away?
Yes. Service providers should communicate a client’s death to their DHHS relationship managers (i.e. LEOs and
PAs) and to [email protected] without delay so that client records are updated accordingly and attempts to
contact the client or their family are ceased.
20. Are there any other documents that service providers can review to assist with updating their client
data?
Yes. Along with detailed instructions in the Client Data Collection Template, there is an Information Summary for
service providers, Frequently Asked Questions document on the client data refresh and a SigBox guide. These
documents and the Client Data Collection Template will be available in April 2017.
If service providers have any questions not addressed in the above mentioned documents, they should contact
their Local Engagement Officers (LEO) or Program Adviser (PA).
Communications with the Department of Health and Human
Services
21. Who should service providers contact with questions and/ or any issues?
All issues and questions should be directed to the provider’s Local Engagement Officers (LEO) or Program Adviser
(PA).
Provider reports and SigBox
22. What are provider reports?
Periodic financial reports that are produced by the department and sent to service providers. These reports show
when a service provider’s clients are expected to transition to the NDIS (by month), their related services and the
amount of state funding estimated to be withdrawn. These reports cover all areas for the full period of the transition,
to June 2019.
23. When will service providers receive the provider reports?
Service providers will receive provider reports twice per month.
24. How will service providers receive the provider reports?
Reports will be available for service providers to download from SigBox.
SigBox is the on-line ‘data room’ where the department exchanges client and financial information reports securely
with service providers.
25. Who will have access to the provider reports?
SigBox is a secure site with restricted access based on unique logins. Each service provider should have at least
one person with access to SigBox for provider reports.
The default access to provider reports is set to the financial signatory for the service agreement, based on
information on the Service Agreement Management System (SAMS). This person can request that additional
access be given to other members of the organisation
Note that there are currently two file paths used by the department on SigBox for data exchange with service
providers: one for the state-wide data collection project and one for provider reports (with a prefix of “PR”). Access
is set up for each path independently so an individual may have access to one path but not the other. To view
provider reports, the user must have access to the provider reports file path for the service provider.
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
8
26. Can a service provider allow additional access to provider reports on SigBox?
It is possible to allow additional access, for example if the service provider would like another member of the
organisation to be responsible for accessing provider reports.
Only the financial signatory to the service agreement can request access for another member of the organisation.
Requests must be in writing; an email is sufficient.
Any requests for additional access or updates to existing access should be directed to [email protected]
and copied to the provider’s Local Engagement Officers (LEO) or Program Adviser (PA).
27. What should service providers do when notified of new provider reports being available?
Service providers should follow the instructions in the email in order to access SigBox and the provider reports.
The provider reports can then be downloaded locally by service providers and distributed to relevant staff.
It is important that service providers take the opportunity to review the reports in a timely manner as they contain
important information about the NDIS transition status of their clients. State funding will be withdrawn as clients
transition to the NDIS.
Any questions on the content of the provider reports should be directed to the provider’s Local Engagement
Officers (LEO) or Program Adviser (PA).
28. How will service providers know when a new provider report is available?
Service providers will receive an automated generic email from SigBox when a new provider reports are available
on the data room. The prefix ‘PR’ in the File/Folder Name indicates that a provider report is available to download.
The email will come from [email protected]. Service providers should ensure that this is an email
address in their safe list and doesn’t go into the Spam folder.
Further information is available in the Guidance to using SigBox document.

Appendix A - examples of funding withdrawal across service
agreements
Disability Services: funding withdrawal scenarios
* Notes:
Funding withdrawals relating to clients who transition to the NDIS up to 30 June 2017 will be processed in August
2017 as Prior Year Adjustments.
Overall the amount of funding received by service providers from the department will comprise negative funding
variations processed against NDIS impacted activities, offset by positive funding in other activities.
HACC-PYP funding will follow this procedure at the end of the in-kind arrangement.

Appendix B - examples of state funding withdrawal timing
Below are some illustrative examples of clients transitioning and the associated funding withdrawal implications.
Note: The following examples assume that there are RIS update and SAMS2 variation windows within the period
and that the provider’s service agreement has sufficient funds to backdate any state funding reduction to the
client’s plan approval date.
1 – ISP via providers and financial intermediary through RIS/SAMS2
Information received by the department from the NDIA mid-month
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017

2 – ISP via providers and financial intermediary through RIS/SAMS2
Information received by the department from the NDIA at the end of the month
3 – Block funded disability services, mental health and state-wide contracts**
August 2016 client transition, funding withdrawal in February 2017.
**This example relates specifically to the delay in processing block-funded cash withdrawals

Appendix C - examples of reports available for providers
What information will service providers receive?
Each service provider will receive a forward looking forecast by month for the full period of the NDIS transition to
Junes 2019.
These will highlight the following information:
Table 1 – A summary forecast by month for the service provider that will include:
• the number of state clients who have transitioned to the NDIS
• the forecast number of existing state clients who will transition to the NDIS by the end of the transition
• the services that have been provided to each client (note that when multiple services are received by the same
client, each service will be shown separately)
• the state funding that will be released for each service.
The above will be provided at both a monthly and cumulative level for clients, services and state funding.
Table 2 – A detailed client listing for the service provider that will include:
• a list of all of the service providers’ state funded clients with a separate line for each service that each of the
service provider’s clients receive (e.g. if a client receives an ISP and Therapy, these will be shown on two
separate lines)
• clients’ first name, surname and date of birth
• the current NDIA status
• the forecast transition date
• the actual transition date (plan approval date), when status is ‘Plan Approved’
• the annual state funding that is attributed to each service
• the actual amount of state funding that will be withdrawn each year based on the actual plan approval date (prorated for the financial year based on actual plan approval date) or the forecast amount of state funding that is
expected to be withdrawn in the financial year based on the forecast transition date.
Table 3 – Calculations – Supported Accommodation:
• This table provides a summary of the service provider’s funded Shared Supported Accommodation houses (if
applicable), along with a breakdown of the total number of clients matched to these houses (both under and
over 65) and the estimated funding release for each client in a Supported Accommodation service that is
determined by:
– the amount of annualised funding for that Supported Accommodation house divided by the total number of
clients matched to that house based on the residential addresses provided through the state-wide data
project.
Table 4 – Calculations – Block-funded disability activities:
• This table provides a summary of the service provider’s block-funded Disability activities, along with a
breakdown of the total number of clients reported for each of these activities within the state-wide data collection
process and the estimated funding release for the provider’s block-funded activity clients that is determined by:
– the amount of annualised funding to the service provider for a particular activity divided by the total number
of client services that the service provider has reported for that particular activity through the state-wide data
collection project.
Table 5 – Calculations – Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS):
• This table provides a summary of the service provider's block-funded Mental Health activities. MCHSS averages
for activities in scope have been calculated based on the service provider’s funding and client estimates within
the MHCSS catchment areas (which do not always align with the DHHS areas) and is determined by:
Service Agreement Variation Process – NDIS (version 3) April 2017
16
– the amount of annualised funding to the service provider for a particular sub-activity within a catchment area
divided by the total number of client services that the service provider has reported for a particular activity
within the catchment area through the State-wide data collection project.
NOTE – Both Table 1 and Table 2 will not show the reduction in state-wide contracts (such as Aids and Equipment)
as these will be agreed separately with the relevant providers.
Key terms below are used by the NDIA as part of its quarterly reporting obligations which may assist in interpreting
the reports outlined in Table 1 and Table 2.
