FOI 24/25-1124 – Data Regarding Children and Parents on Scheme Scope 1. The number of children on NDIS where only one parent is an NDIS participant. 2. The number of children on NDIS where both parents are NDIS participants. 3. For families identified in points 1 and 2, how many have an NDIS complex case manager (or a similar role) assigned to assist with planning meetings, building plans for all family members, and managing the delegation/funding approval process? If possible, I would appreciate the data being broken down by state or territory.

For both #1 and #2, please note the following: • Children are those aged under 18 • A NDIS participant is considered a ‘parent’ if their family relation with the child NDIS participant is Mother, Father, Stepmother or Stepfather in our data. • Parental role is not a mandatory field in our system. • Plan Nominee, Guardian, or Child Representative are mandatory in our system but have not been included in the data as they would overwhelmingly represent roles that are not parental, however there may be instances where parental role has not been inputted and instead only listed as one of the above. • The state and territory breakdown is based on current residing state or territory of the child participant.
