Part 2: Payments for Specific Purposes (Continued)
Community services
In 2012‑13, the Commonwealth will provide funding of $2.2 billion to support state community services, as detailed in Table 2.7.
As part of the National Health Reform arrangements, the Commonwealth has assumed full policy and funding responsibility for national aged care services and funding responsibility for specialist disability services delivered by the States for people aged 65 years and over (50 years and over for Indigenous Australians). The States have responsibility for funding and regulating disability services for people aged under 65 years (under 50 years for Indigenous Australians). Additional details on the new National Health Reform arrangements are set out in Part 1. The exception to these arrangements is Victoria and Western Australia where existing arrangements will continue.

(a) From 2011‑12, the Commonwealth is making an adjustment to the National Disability SPP to ensure that the changes to Commonwealth and State roles and responsibilities for aged care and disability services are budget neutral until 2013‑14. From 2014‑15 the changed roles and responsibilities in this area will result in additional own purpose expenditure for the Commonwealth. Victoria and Western Australia are not participating in these arrangements and no adjustment will be made to the National Disability SPP for these two jurisdictions.
National Disability Agreement
The National Disability Agreement commits the Commonwealth and the States to strive, through the provision of disability support services, to help people with disabilities and their carers achieve an enhanced quality of life and participate as valued members of the community.
To meet these objectives, governments have agreed to reform their services, including to:
- improve the provision of services and opportunities to enhance the capacity of people with disability;
- ensure that services are person‑centred and provide timely access to the necessary support needs;
- identify, plan and respond to the development and support needs of people with disability at an early stage and at key life transition points; and
- support the role of carers and families, including through strengthening their informal support networks.

The National Disability SPP is the funding associated with the National Disability Agreement. The Commonwealth is providing funding to the States under this National SPP to support disability services.
Growth factor
The Intergovernmental Agreement defines the growth factor for the National Disability SPP as the rolling five year average of year‑on‑year growth in nominal gross domestic product.
For the purpose of calculating indexation, the Disabilities Assistance Package has been deducted from the base to calculate 2011‑12 funding as the package already includes an escalation factor. The package forms part of the base to calculate funding for 2012‑13 onwards.
The growth factor for the National Disability SPP is currently estimated to be 5.70 per cent in 2012‑13.

Since 1 July 2011, as part of the National Health Reform Agreement agreed with the States in August 2011, the Commonwealth has made an adjustment to ensure that the changes to Commonwealth and State roles and responsibilities for aged care and disability services as part of the National Health Reform arrangements are budget neutral.
National Partnership payments for community services
In addition to the National Disability SPP, the Commonwealth will provide funding through National Partnerships as detailed below.
National Partnership on transitioning responsibilities for aged care and disability services
The National Partnership on transitioning responsibilities for aged care and disability services forms part of the National Health Reform arrangements. This agreement implements the first phase of changes to the roles and responsibilities associated with the Commonwealth taking full funding, policy and operational responsibility for basic community care services for people aged 65 years and over (50 years and over for Indigenous Australians), as well as funding responsibility for specialist disability services to people aged 65 years and over (50 years and over for Indigenous Australians) with the exception of Victoria and Western Australia where current arrangements will continue.
As part of these reforms, States will reimburse the Commonwealth for the cost of packaged community care and residential care services delivered to persons under the age of 65 (50 years for Indigenous Australians). Further details of the new National Health Reform arrangements can be found in Part 1 and the Health section of this Part.

The Commonwealth will provide funding for the provision of basic community care maintenance and support services such as domestic assistance and personal care to older people.
