NDIS in Queensland

The NDIS will be progressively rolled out across Queensland over three years from July 2016 to June 2019. Under the NDIS the number of Queenslanders receiving disability supports is expected to double to around 97,000 by 2019. This is expected to create up to 13,000 additional full-time jobs, and inject approximately $4 billion per year into the Queensland economy between 2016 and 2019.

The Bilateral Agreement between the State and Federal Governments details the three-year rollout of the NDIS across the State, including:

Townsville, Hinchinbrook, Burdekin, west to Mount Isa, and up to the gulf
Mackay, Isaac and Whitsundays
Toowoomba and west to the borders

Ipswich, Lockyer, Scenic Rim and Somerset
Bundaberg
Rockhampton, Gladstone and west to the borders, and
