On 10 December 2018, the Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments entered into the Bilateral Agreement between the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of Tasmania 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 will take effect from 1 July 2019.
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.
