DisabilityCare Australia is an independent statutory agency, whose role is to implement the national disability insurance scheme, which will support a better life for hundreds of thousands of Australians with a significant and permanent disability and their families and carers.
DisabilityCare Australia will mean peace of mind for every Australian, for anyone who has or might acquire a disability.
Our priority is to ensure people with disability continue to get the support they need. The changes that are required to existing disability support systems are significant. Arrangements are being put in place to ensure the scheme can be introduced gradually, ensuring a smooth transition for people with disability and support providers. From 1 July 2013, the first stage of the Scheme will begin to rollout in South Australia, Tasmania, the Barwon area of Victoria and the Hunter area in New South Wales. The ACT and NT will join the launch in July 2014.
