NDIS money is not the same thing as healthy service coverage. This view shows whether EAST MELBOURNE, VIC sits inside a state market with thin provider supply, captured payment flows, and too few local disability-focused or community-controlled alternatives. This matters here because EAST MELBOURNE, VIC already shows $10.0M in justice-related funding moving through local entities.
