follow up non-compliance and seek evidence that radiation safety and documentation is being maintained. Immunisation From 2015-16 to 2016-17, reported vaccination coverage in the 1215 age cohort increased by 0.9 per cent and is just above the Australian national average of 93.6 per cent. While reported vaccination coverage in the 2427 month age cohort increased by 2.3 per cent from 2015-16 to 2016-17, and is above the Australian national average of 91.1 per cent. Previously reported drops in vaccination coverage rates in the 24-27 month cohort were attributed to changes to the definition of ‘fully immunised’ to include several new vaccines. Rates typically increase in subsequent years as provision and documentation of new vaccines becomes routine. This coupled with the No Jab, No Play catch-up program has seen a significant increase over the last period. Move Well Eat Well As at 30 June 2017, there were 179 member primary schools, 57 of which have achieved a Move Well Eat Well Award.

Between 2013-14 and 2016-17 the membership in the primary schools program increased by 7.2 per cent and there was an increase of 14.6 per cent in schools achieving Award status. The Move Well Eat Well Primary School Program has reached over 35 000 Tasmanian primary school children and their families. As at 30 June 2017 there were 97 member early childhood long day care services, 28 of which have achieved a Move Well Eat Well Award. Membership represents 85.8 per cent of all long day care services and Award status has been achieved by 28.9 per cent of these. Between 2013-14 and 2016-17 the Early Childhood Program’s membership increased by 22.6 per cent. The Early Childhood Program reached 52 per cent of children 0-4 years and their families, in early childhood settings. Since beginning in 2012 the Program has provided support and training to 83 per cent of early childhood educators.

Target population transitioned to NDIS is as per 31 March 2017 quarterly report, being the latest data available; once the 30 June 2017 quarterly report is available this measure will be updated. The agreed National Target for community managed social housing stock is 35 per cent. The 2016-17 target was revised to 42.7 per cent in the 2016-17 Budget Papers to reflect the level of social housing stock actually under community management at that time. Although 2016-17 actuals are slightly below that revised target, they are still well above the national target. Quality and Safety Reviews DHHS conducts regular reviews of funded community sector organisations the Quality and Safety Framework for Tasmania’s DHHS Funded Community Sector. DHHS funded organisations are continuing to actively participate in the review process and are showing a commitment to continuous improvement against quality and safety standards. The Department is responsible for triennial reviews under the Framework. However, quality and safety standards are also monitored annually through DHHS funding agreement management. NDIS Transition to Full Scheme The NDIS for the 15 to 24 year old cohort saw over 1 100 young people supported by the NDIS. A Bilateral Agreement for transition to full scheme was signed by the Tasmanian and Australian Governments on 11 December 2015. The transition of the remaining 9 500 Tasmanians with disability to the NDIS commenced in 2016-17 with people aged 12 to 28 as well as individuals in specialist disability supported accommodation transitioning. Social Housing Community housing providers now have an established presence as managers of social housing in Tasmania. Some 3 900 properties have transferred the Better Housing Futures program since its commencement. The involvement of the community sector in the management of social housing has led to improvements in the way tenants, with special in particular, are supported, the building of strong, resilient communities and a concentrated investment in maintenance across the Tasmanian social housing portfolio.
