NDIS’s Independent Assessments

LACK OF CONSULTATION REGARDING INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS AND LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

Nothing about us, without us.

Main Points:

• I think the above statement speaks for itself, but here goes…
• There has not been sufficient consultation with the disability community.
• There has not been transparency of information, evidence or decision making by the government.
• There has not been sufficient time for the disability community to respond to proposed changes to the NDIS Act 2013; all the information to date has been drip fed to the community to avoid us being able to see the whole picture.
• Any responses to the disability communities concerns have not ACTUALLY addressed those concerns, with the message being ‘we are going ahead anyway’.
• There has been no consultation about the federal government’s proposal to remove the concepts of choice and control, reasonable and necessary, support needs, goals, aspirations etc from the NDIS – these were hard fought for and important to us.
• There has been a move towards ‘control’ of people with a disability by making certain processes “mandatory” or you are ejected from the scheme.
• PWD did not choose to have a disability or the disadvantage that comes with it.
• PWD DO want to live an ordinary life, and an ordinary life is NOT living beholden to a dictatorship that says, ‘do as I say or you get nothing’, and ‘even if you do as I say, I’ll make sure you get as little as possible so we can contain costs’.
• The consequences for getting ejected from the scheme are potentially harm or death. There is no choice there.
• The consequences of being subjected to a mandatory Independent Assessment by a stranger, at least for a large group of people on NDIS with psychosocial, neurodevelopmental or less visible disabilities, is potentially harm or death because feedback from those who have participated in the pilot is that they are too stressful, too humiliating, to dehumanising. Some people may not be able to live with that, and seeing no alternative, maybe they would rather be dead?

Independent Assessments

Submission 350

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

NEEDS ASSESSMENTS vs FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENTS

The preface: Please keep in mind that to date, Occupational Therapists have been requested to complete ‘Functional Assessments’ by NDIS (NDIS terminology), however in truth, Occupational Therapists actually conduct NEEDS assessments inclusive of specifically and individually chosen Functional Assessments in order to meet the reporting requirements of NDIS. This is because this approach yields both the functional information required by NDis, as well as recommendations for support needs, which a Functional Assessment on their own cannot achieve. Occupational Therapists are the most appropriately trained and experienced profession to do needs assessments in most cases, for participants with any combination of physical, neurodevelopmental or psychological conditions.

Main Points:

• NDIs was created on the basis of participant determining and understanding their goals, aspirations, life contexts, barriers, and most importantly, NEEDS.
• A Needs Assessment and a Functional Assessment are NOT the same thing.
• A Needs Assessment MAY INCLUDE a number of specially chosen Functional Assessments that are deemed most relevant to the person being assessed.
• Functional Assessments can be formal (standardised assessments) or informal (observations of tasks being completed in a variety of environments).
• The results of Functional Assessments should only be analysed within the context of the broader Needs Assessment, before recommendations are made.
• Needs assessments are comprehensive and holistic, and can explore all aspects of a participants goals, aspirations, life contexts, barriers, and most importantly, NEEDS.
• Functional Assessments are limited in their scope and the information they capture, and therefore do not adequately capture the information that supports the main tenets of the NDs.
• Standardised Functional Assessments, such as those chosen by NDIS, are only standardised if they remain completely unchanged, are used with the populations they were designed for, and they are NOT intended to be used to determine funding.

A statement:

• I believe that Needs Assessments are the best option for determining participants support needs, and therefore funding, rather than a limited set of mandatory Functional Assessments as proposed by the Federal Government (Independent Assessments).

NEEDS ASSESSMENTS vs INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS

Main Points:

Independent Assessments Submission 350

• NDIS Needs Assessments by Occupational Therapists typically take from 10 hours to 25 hours to complete, including travel (if required) and reports, depending upon the complexity of the participant’s presentation and situation.
• Independent Assessments are required to take a maximum of 3 hours to complete including travel and reports.
• NDIS Needs Assessments currently completed by Occupational Therapists can include individually chosen Functional Assessments that will yield the most relevant data to support recommendations made by the therapist.
• Independent Assessments are restricted to only 3-4 assessments depending upon age-group and are not individually chosen to yield the information required to provide evidence of support needs.
• The resultant information gathered from a comprehensive Needs Assessment is analysed by a professional trained with these skills, in order to make recommendations specific to the needs of the participant.
• The resultant LIMITED information gathered from an Independent Assessment is plugged into a computer algorithm which will generate a dollar figure that is likely not reflective of the actual support needs of a person, let alone their goals and aspirations, and will not support choice and control.
• Usually, an Occupational Therapy Needs ‘Functional’ Assessment Report for the purpose of NDIS is presented to the participant first to review for errors and to ensure all functional impairments and support needs are covered.
• Independent Assessments will not be made available to participants, and only limited parts of the assessments will be made available to participants by Freedom of Information Act. Participants will not be allowed to request changes to Independent Assessments even if there are errors made or they have misunderstood a question and answered incorrectly. There is no recourse.
• If a participant is unhappy with an Occupational Therapy Needs Assessment Report, they can choose whether to submit it to NDIS or not as part of their evidence. They also have the opportunity to make a complaint to the Occupational Therapist, their employer, the AHPRA Registration Board or the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission as part of their suite of rights to dispute a report.
• In the event that the Occupational Therapy Needs Assessment is submitted by the Participant to the NDIS as evidence, if the resultant NDis Plan appears not to reflect the recommendations made, the participant has the right to submit a request for a Review of a Reviewable Decision (RORD), where a different person examines the evidence, and any further evidence, to make a potentially different decision.
• The Participant also has the right to seek, via Freedom of Information Act, how the NDIS Planner arrived at their decision making regarding funding allocation based on the evidence at hand, or lack of evidence, so they can move to seek further evidence if required for the RORD.
• If a participant is unhappy with an Independent Assessment, they have no rights to dispute the assessments completed, the results of the assessment, the resultant funding calculated via algorithm from the assessment, even if the assessment means they are subject to harm as a result.
• If a participant is unhappy with an Independent Assessment, the Federal Government has decided that they are not a ‘decision’ by an NDIS Delegate, and therefore are not a ‘reviewable decision’ by RORD or AAT – despite the fact that

Independent Assessments

\SOMEONE must be approving the outcome of the algorithm determining the
funding. It is not even clear if the NDIS is subject to investigation by the NDIS Quality
and Safeguards Commission if their “decision that is not a decision” places the cparticipant in a situation of potential or actual harm.

• The Federal Government has claimed that the Independent Assessment tools that \you have chosen are standardized, reliable, valid and consistent (despite them
  having modified the assessments meaning they are no longer standardised, valid or
  trustworthy) – yet where allied health professionals have chosen similarly standardized, reliable and valid assessments as part of their evidence collection, they were accused of ’sympathy bias.’
• The government, to my knowledge, has not tested their current assessment tools for reliability or validity with changes made during use when participants assessed multiple assessors undertake same assessment participant etc., so it unclear how claim tool’s reliability/validity? Maybe ’functional assessment tool bias’??!! Just joking sort…

Statement:

• Independent Assessments aren’t comprehensive enough nor tailored individual circumstances participant assist way determine support funding requirements participant.
• Independent Assessments currently designed effectively remove reference participant goals aspirations choice control life context support needs.
• If chosen Independent Assessments reliably validated consistently why can’t therapists complete them overall need assessment? Presumably result occur right? Actually probably - background knowledge participant answers may indeed different on same assessments using independent Assessors this what government relying order make look higher functioning than actually cost containment. No recourse.
• Independent Assessments potentially dangerous placing high risks having support met which results harm death participant carers.
• Government provide HOW assessment tools chose standard reliable validate consistent particularly changed ways used determining funds these weren’t intended. \ALLIED HEALTH ‘SYMPATHY BIAS’ VS LACK OF GUIDANCE

Main Points:\nThe Federal attempted discredit allied health professionals stating they had ’sympathy bias’ reason introducing Independent Assessment.\nThe Federal presented no actual evidence of sympathy bias.

Independent Assessments Submission 350

• Allied Health Professionals generally have to adhere to the requirements of their Registration Body, which includes Codes of Ethics, Codes of Conduct, and are subject to complaints to the Registration Body if these have been breached. To my knowledge, I am not aware of any breach reported by NDIS or the Federal Government about an allied health professional, given their repeated claims of ‘sympathy bias’.
• Most therapists use standardised Functional Assessments as part of their Needs Assessment of a participant as evidence to back up their statements of participant needs – this prevents ‘sympathy bias’.
• It is my belief that Occupational Therapists generally complete high quality and comprehensive Needs Assessments, that speak to the requirements of the NDIS Legislation, principles and Rules of the NDIS, and that as this has resulted in a higher than expected financial cost to the government, they are now trying to reduce costs by introducing Independent Assessments that don’t capture so much important information about the participant. Their ‘sympathy bias’ comment was just an excuse for cost containment.
• Allied health professionals have been asking for clearer guidance from NDIS regarding evidence and reporting requirements for ‘Functional’ (Needs) Assessments, and this information has never been forthcoming. This has resulted in ‘Functional Assessment’ reports being time consuming to complete, many pages long, in an attempt by the therapist to cover all possible angles, evidence and rationales for the requested supports.
• Allied health professionals have also repeatedly reported difficulties speaking with anyone within NDIS for guidance regarding recommendations – often they can’t get hold of anyone at all to speak to, and when they do, they either don’t have the expertise to provide the guidance or give vague responses or different people provide different answers – meaning the therapist is none the wiser.
• The main issue from my perspective is the lack of guidance from NDIS for ‘Functional’ (Needs) Assessments; an NDIS Delegates having no disability or therapy background or knowledge or training, meaning allied health reports are misunderstood, misinterpreted, or are not read at all.

Statement:

• The government should be made to publicly retract their statement of “sympathy bias” by NDIS allied health professionals unless they can provide extensive evidence that this is fact a commonplace practice.
• The NDIS should provide better guidance, in the form of qualified and trained personnel to guide allied health professionals in decision making and interpreting the NDIS legislation and rules, and also in terms of the report formats required (with some flexibility built in for unique circumstances) and evidence required in reports. They have done this for Assistive Technology and Complex Home Modifications reports.

XISTING TREATERS VS INDEPENDENT ASSESSORS

Main Points:

Independent Assessments Submission 350

• David Tune recommended AGAINST existing participants being required to participate in Independent Assessments, in his 2019 report.
• David Tune recommended that Independent Assessors be made available to, at no cost, prospective participants who had no current treating parties from which to request reports in order to apply for NDIS Access. It is supposed to be a choice.
• There is NO reason to make Independent Assessments mandatory for all NDIS Participants, existing or prospective, unless it is for cost containment purposes by the government.
• Existing treaters are familiar with the participant, and less threatening and more predictable to the participant in most cases. They have a good understanding of the support needs of the participant and this is the basis of the NDIS.
• Independent Assessors are unfamiliar, less predictable in their approach and manner, have no background information on the participant, nor do they want it or take it into consideration.
• Independent Assessors have questionable disability experience – most of the organisations contracted to do Independent Assessments are currently recruiting for either new graduates or those with 1 year or more experience, and those organizations definition of ‘disability experience’ should EXCLUDE insurance experience, which is NOT the same thing – I know this from working as an OT in both fields. Their salary ranges on offer for the Independent Assessor roles are indicative of them only wanting therapists with minimal experience. They will not attract quality, experienced therapists with disability experience with these salaries.
• Independent Assessors are not willing to take into account any other information that the participant may want to provide from their own therapists – as is evidenced by the reported experience of some participants in the current pilot. Given the government has not disclosed HOW funding will be calculated or arrived at from the Independent Assessments, I cannot trust their statement that the participants own allied health reports will be taken into account in any way, particularly when there is talk of using an algorithm to calculate NDIS funding packages or talk of “block” funding.

Statement:

• I am absolutely AGAINST the introduction of mandatory Independent Assessments in any form, for either existing or prospective NDIS participants.
• I am absolutely AGAINST participants being subjected to an assessment by a stranger, an Independent Assessor who knows nothing about them and yet their limited assessment is being used to determine their funding from NDIS with no recourse for the participant and with the high risk of harm to the participant.
• I am absolutely AGAINST the use of a limited set of functional assessments to determine funding when the assessments are not supposed to be used for that purpose.
• I am absolutely AGAINST the modification of standardised assessments in any way particularly where the results are being used by the government for decision making that directly affects the welfare and safety of participants.
• I am absolutely against the use of new or near-new graduates from the insurance industry for assessments in the disability industry.

Independent Assessments

Submission 350

• I have worked for a number of injury management organizations over the years, and my personal experience has been a severe lack of supervision, severe lack of training EXCEPT where that training is related to maximizing billable hours or organizational profit, or around the Key Performance Indicators for the “customer” (the insurer or in this case NDIS) – where the customer is NOT the client (or participant in this case).
• My experience with these organizations is that they also may ‘fudge’ information about a therapist’s experience to make it look relevant, when upon closer inspection, it may not be. For example if a therapist worked with worker with physical injuries, but a few workers happened to have depression also, they would say their therapist has ‘mental health’ experience even though they have clinically never worked in that field, nor was that the focus of their involvement with those workers.
• Also, most injury management therapists only have case management experience, not clinical experience, although this depends upon whether they commenced in injury management as a new graduate or worked in a clinical setting first.
• Participants and NDIS funding has become a source of income and profit, and in some cases shareholder dividends, for the larger organisations within this country. The original idea of the NDIS was to increase the service market within local areas, particularly small business and sole traders, to maximise choice and control for participants, and to enable the development of innovative markets and solutions.
• The federal government seems keen to shift the majority of NDIS funding from the participants who need it, to large conglomerates to undertake a role that is NOT required.
• Additionally, those larger organisations chosen by NDIS for Independent Assessments appear to be avoiding “conflict of interest” by creating separate entities within their business to provide all aspects of NDIS services – Local Area Coordination, Therapy Services, Support Workers and NOW Independent Assessments as well.
• Give back the money to participants – they are the ones who need it!!!

WHAT DO I WANT FROM THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE INQUIRY INTO INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS?

• Stop the federal government from proceeding with implementation of the independent assessments AND changes to the NDIS Act 2013 legislation as described in the leak draft from last week.
• Undertake a thorough investigation of all the evidence – subpoena the government to provide evidence for all their claims - ‘sympathy bias’, reliability/validity of their chosen assessments, disability neutrality of their chosen assessments, changes made to their chosen assessments, how the independent assessment organizations were chosen, how the disability has supposedly been consulted with given that most in the industry state they have NOT been consulted, how the chosen functional assessments data will be used to determine funding, why independent assessments must be mandatory, why they are going against the Tune Report recommendations with regard to mandatory independent assessments for ALL participants, how the previous and current independent assessment pilot has been conducted and the results obtained from the assessments as well as the participant surveys and how

Independent Assessments

Submission 350

they have used this data so far to determine funding packages etc (there are so many other things to include here that I cannot think of!).

Undertake a comprehensive risk assessment from the perspective of participants and their carers regarding the use of independent assessments, their mandatory nature, the use of those assessments to determine funding, the likely funding to be received compared to current funding of individual participants (modelling), the risk to participant and carer mental health, the risk of harm to participants or their carers, the risk of support needs not being met, the risk of participants being ejected from the scheme and being exposed to further risk as a result (again – so many aspects to this).

EXAMPLE OF HOW EASILY AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT BY A ‘STRANGER’ COULD GO WRONG:

Thank you for your consideration of my submission. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me on redacted. I have some further comments below in relation to some example advertisements that I have copied from SEEK.com.au In particular, please see the comment I have made about AHPRA requirements where therapists change their scope of practice.

Kind regards

Copies of Advertisements by NDIS Contracted Organisations for Independent Assessors:

Please Note:

• Base rate salaries on offer – will only attract new or near new graduates.
• Some don’t ask specifically for people with disability experience.
• Some are advertised referring to their umbrella company – breach of ‘conflict of interest’ clause for NDIS Independent Assessment organisations.
• Be Aware – AHPRA requires that any registered therapist that changes their scope of practice to an area of which they have no or minimal experience (e.g., changing from injury management to disability assessments or interventions) needs to get approval from AHPRA to do so, and may be required to submit a CPD plan for approval also.
