Minister for Families and Social Services, Paul Fletcher today announced the NDIS full scheme agreement for the NT – a significant milestone for the rollout of the NDIS across Australia.

The NDIA would like to reassure people with disability in the Northern Territory, their families and carers that any person eligible for the NDIS will continue to receive the reasonable and necessary supports they need.

The Northern Territory (NT) Government has advised they will not be able to progress any new registration requests from 1 April 2019 for some specific registration groups.

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.

Territorians with a disability, their carers and providers now have a single, central and accessible NDIS office in Darwin.

Sitting down to dinner with Prime Minister Turnbull was one of the last things NDIS planner Rhonda Plummer thought she would be doing on a Sunday night.
