Subclass C  All other persons within the main class.                                                                                                                                                                                                            The CEO decides that the Agency has the capacity to commence the facilitation of the preparation of the participants' plans, in light of the number of participants in Subclasses A and B whose plans have been dealt with and the number yet to be dealt with.

    2.9 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.

    2.10 In making a decision under paragraph 2.9, 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 on the Victorian Disability Support Register or the Early Childhood Intervention Service waitlist, who have not yet had plans approved, should be prioritised;

       (b) 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 Victoria should be prioritised;

       (c) that the facilitation of the preparation of plans for 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 Victoria disability services.

    2.11 Paragraph 2.10 does not limit the matters that the CEO may take into account in making a decision.

Consultation

    2.12 In making a decision under paragraph 2.9, or considering whether to make such a decision, the CEO must also, where practicable, seek the views of the Government of Victoria and have regard to those views (if any).
