    2.11 For each subclass, the CEO is to commence facilitating the preparation of plans for participants in the subclass when the CEO decides that it is appropriate to do so, having regard to the progress of the preparation of plans for participants in the relevant main class.

    2.12 In making a decision under paragraph 2.10 or 2.11, or considering whether to make such a decision, the CEO must have regard to the following principles:

       (a)   that the commencement of the facilitation of the preparation of plans for persons who have individual funding arrangements for disability services with the State of Tasmania should be prioritised;

       (b)   that the facilitation of the preparation of plans for shared supported accommodation residents should be done in a way that:

           (i)     takes into account the intensive planning and support required for that facilitation; and

           (ii)  enables, where practicable, participants who reside in the same home or facility to have their plans facilitated contemporaneously;

       (c)   that where practicable, participants receiving services from the same provider should have their plans facilitated contemporaneously;

       (d)   that the Agency should retain the capacity to facilitate the preparation of plans of participants who do not receive Commonwealth disability services or Tasmania disability services.

    2.13 Paragraph 2.12 does not limit the matters that the CEO may take into account in making a decision.

Consultation

    2.14 In making a decision under paragraph 2.10 or 2.11, or considering whether to make such a decision, the CEO must also, where practicable, seek the views of the Government of Tasmania and have regard to those views (if any).
