On 9 July 2019, the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments entered into the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and Queensland on the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
The agreement reflects both Governments’ shared responsibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and locks in arrangements for both Governments to make ongoing, up-front funding contributions to the scheme.
This agreement took effect from 1 July 2020.
Following a scheduled review of state and territory contributions to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, First Ministers agreed amendments to Schedule A during August and September 2023.
Following a meeting of National Cabinet on 30 January 2026, First Ministers agreed to amendments to Schedule A of the Agreement in February 2026.
