National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

A group of happy smiling people holding a sign saying Let's shake it up!

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is making a difference in the lives of 90,000 Queenslanders with disability.

Queenslanders with disability, their families and supporters have worked together for over a decade to ensure that they can access the supports they need to live their day to day life.

QDN supports our members to ensure they have the information they need to help navigate the NDIS including connecting to Peer Support Groups. We think it’s important that people with disability have the information they need to ensure the NDIS works well for them. We help connect people to information through our different projects. Our systemic advocacy work makes sure people with disability can have a say, give their feedback and make sure Queenslanders with disability are involved in the co-design of future changes to the scheme.
