This post is established to support regional readiness and implementation of Disability Home Support reform, with a main focus on developing robust regional data, reporting, governance, administrative arrangements and co-ordination, to support the requirements of the new Disability Home Support Authorisation Scheme, and accordingly access, integration and service development, in line with future operating model requirements and UNCRPD
