Summary
Fixing the NDIS: cost, effectiveness and access for psychosocial disability. This project aims to address serious deficits in the operation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme for one of its largest participant groups: people with psychosocial disability. This project expects to develop new data on scheme outcomes, cost-effectiveness and participant experiences to develop an appropriate and implementable program logic to improve supports for this group.

This project aims to address serious deficits in the operation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme for one of its largest participant groups: people with psychosocial disability. This project expects to develop new data on scheme outcomes, cost-effectiveness and participant experiences to develop an appropriate and implementable program logic to improve supports for this group. Expected outcomes will be scheme reform by implementing a new framework of supports for psychosocial disability and data to improve the operation of national policy for this group more broadly. This should provide significant benefits for the cost-effective operation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and build research capacity in disability policy.Read moreRead less

Summary
Making optimal use of stormwater in cities: a market-driven smart-grid. Cities suffer the cruel irony of both floods and droughts. This program aims to bring the power of markets and Real-Time Control technology to confront these challenges, and in doing so, transform the urban water industry. It will create an optimisation and control platform, along with novel economic incentives, to enable a market-driven smart-grid of stormwater storages, providing consumers with non-potable water supply, wh ....Making optimal use of stormwater in cities: a market-driven smart-grid. Cities suffer the cruel irony of both floods and droughts. This program aims to bring the power of markets and Real-Time Control technology to confront these challenges, and in doing so, transform the urban water industry. It will create an optimisation and control platform, along with novel economic incentives, to enable a market-driven smart-grid of stormwater storages, providing consumers with non-potable water supply, while financially rewarding them for contributions to flood mitigation and environmental flows to waterways. The program will build the capacity and products to accelerate adoption of smart water technology, establishing Australia as an international market leader at a time when the market for this technology is exploding.Read moreRead less
