Notes	The Strategy was set to see the following tracked – Proportion utilisation of NDIS participants’ plans on assistive technology supports. Measure wording has been revised to clarify its intent. From the July 2023 release of the webpages, data includes assistive technology of any value. This differs from earlier releases (December 2022 and March 2023) where data was restricted to assistive technology supports valued more than $1,500. The change is due to additional data becoming available, which means that measure data are more complete. Baseline data are also revised.
