The departmental website and interactive map, used to check when a particular locality will transition, will be updated with the new rollout dates in coming days.
Additional information about Queensland’s NDIS transition is as follows:
The National Disability Insurance Scheme website at www.ndis.gov.au is the primary source of information about the scheme. People currently receiving support through the Queensland Government will be moving to the NDIS alongside new participants in each area.
People do not need to be registered with Disability Services, or any other Queensland Government department, to participate in the NDIS. People who are already receiving disability supports, but who are not eligible for the NDIS, will continue to be supported to achieve similar outcomes.
