| Population group age from: | 0 |
|---|---|
| Population group age to: | 64 |
| Computation description: | Number of eligible persons aged 0-64 years waiting to commence service or waiting for additional service (from jurisdiction demand systems) divided by number of persons aged 0-64 years who require and are eligible for disability support services, including persons receiving and not receiving services (from jurisdiction demand systems). |
| Computation: | R/N x 100 Where R = number of eligible persons aged 0-64 years waiting to commence service or waiting for additional service (from jurisdiction demand systems) and N = number of persons aged 0-64 years who require and are eligible for disability support services, including persons receiving and not receiving services (from jurisdiction demand systems) Computation will be appropriate to the target population and corresponding available data, including jurisdiction demand data and SDAC enhancements. Multiple measures for this indicator give person and system level perspectives on unmet demand. Service system-identified unmet demand as a proportion of confirmed demand—computation based on confirmed demand measured at jurisdiction level DPRWG agreed jurisdiction demand data will be explored through redevelopment of the DS NMDS. This measure is based on jurisdiction demand data. |
| Numerator: | Number of eligible persons aged 0–64 years waiting to commence service or waiting for additional service (from jurisdiction demand systems). |
| Denominator: | Number of persons aged 0–64 years who require and are eligible for disability support services, including persons receiving and not receiving services (from jurisdiction demand systems). |
| Disaggregation: | Recommended disaggregation by state/territory. Further disaggregation will depend on data availability and quality. Where possible, it will include age group, sex, Indigenous status, proficiency in spoken English, Remoteness Area and disability status. |

| Accountability: | Overall—shared; employment services—AG; Accommodation, respite, community support (includes management and individual service planning), community access services—state and territory governments. |
| Benchmark: | Related NDA benchmark - Performance benchmark (b) A decrease in the proportion of potential population with unmet demand for services. |
| Further data development / collection required: | Indicator e(1) is intended to give a service system identified measure of unmet demand as a proportion of confirmed demand. Definitional work to inform data development is proceeding under NDA Priority A Deliverable 3. This indicator will be based on Jurisdiction demand data, which will need to be comparable with regards to definitions, items and computation methods. |
| Other issues caveats: | Available disaggregation depends on sampling errors and other caveats.
