The number of people using disability support services increased by almost 50% between 2003-04 and 2008-09, according to a report released on January 19 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). Each of the five main service types—respite, employment, accommodation support, community support and community access—experienced real increases in total expenditure. The report also describes the service outlets and the uses of these services, including their support needs and informal carer arrangements.
