National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Hon. T.T. NGO (14:54): Does the minister support the establishment of a national disability strategy in a COAG-style national disability agreement between the federal, state and territory governments?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:54): My understanding is that all states and territories are participants in a National Disability Strategy, which drives policy that operates between jurisdictions going forward. It may or may not have been a topic in years gone by about the NDIS, but certainly we have shared interests in this space and work towards these things.
