Disability Services receives State and Commonwealth funding and in turn provides funding to non-government agencies to provide the most appropriate supports and services to people with disability.
Disability service providers that receive funding from Disability Services have contractual reporting obligations. Disability Services uses the data submitted by disability service providers to meet State and Federal reporting obligations.
