The Commonwealth and ACT governments have reached a landmark agreement that locks in enduring arrangements for the NDIS in the ACT.

From 1 March 2019, the Victorian, Tasmanian and ACT governments have advised they will no longer assess the a number of registration groups against their quality and safeguard standards.

The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission will roll out across Vic, Qld, Tas, ACT and NT from 1 July 2019. The NDIS Commission began operating in NSW and SA on 1 July 2018, WA will transition from 1 July 2020.

Twenty-two grants totalling close to $3 million have been awarded to organisations by the NDIA to make the ACT more accessible and inclusive of people with disability.

Two local service providers will share in $17.6 million of funding to deliver Local Area Coordination (LAC) and Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) services in the ACT to support the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has reached agreement with six organisations successful in a recent early intervention tender.
