Public servants in South Australia are setting up an independent, employee-led mutual organisation to provide government services, in the country’s first such project.

The organisation, which is staffed by former officials of the Government of South Australia, will deliver early intervention services for children with disabilities and developmental delays under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
