On 25 May 2018, the Commonwealth and New South Wales Governments entered into the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of New South Wales 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. The agreement will take effect from 1 July 2018.
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.
