Can you clarify, in the time between the 29th day passing upon which the transitional rules come into effect and the passage of the instrument that will define what an NDIS support is, what is the intent of the government in terms of defining in that interim period what an NDIS support is? It would appear to me that there is a likelihood that there would be a gap between the 29th day and the introduction and acceptance of an instrument. During that period of time, participants who are coming into the scheme and not transitioning are under an obligation to use their funds only for an NDIS support for which there may not yet be an actual definition.
