The National Disability Agreement, previously the Commonwealth State/Territory Disability Agreement, is the national framework under which the Australian, state and territory governments work together to provide support and make a positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities, their families and carers.
The National Disability Agreement sets the administrative and funding arrangements for the delivery of specialist disability services. It also establishes national policy priorities that set the themes and directions to guide action in service and community development to create opportunities for people with disabilities.
The agreement resulted from a shared need to clarify administrative responsibility for various types of services for people with disabilities. It reflects a shared vision that governments will work collaboratively to build inclusive communities where people with disabilities, their families and carers are valued and are equal participants in all aspects of life.
