昆士兰州政府拒绝签署周四开始的国家残障保险计划（NDIS）改革协议，引发了关于新支持服务何时推出的广泛不确定性1。州长大卫·克里萨富利要求联邦政府向家庭保证不会"掉队"，同时批评NDIS是"一列失控的列车"1。这一决定与昆州今年早些时候与其他所有州、领地及总理共同签署的协议形成对比1。
Thriving Kids是一项40亿美元的新基础支持服务项目，面向8岁及以下需要低至中等支持的有发育迟缓或自闭症的儿童，已经启动1。NDIS部长珍妮·麦卡利斯特表示，"昆州家庭理所当然地问他们的州政府Thriving Kids服务将是什么"1。根据改革安排，NDIS资格变化不会到2028年才开始，其他州和领地将从2027年1月开始设计和推出针对性支持1。昆州已同意设立基础支持以换取250亿美元医院资金的份额1。
Queensland has declined to sign a National Disability Insurance Scheme reform agreement that commenced on Thursday, sparking concern among families and disability advocates.1 The state's decision contrasts with the position of all other states, territories, and the Prime Minister, who signed the accord earlier this year.1
State Premier David Crisafulli demanded federal assurances that families would not be left behind, characterizing the NDIS as "a runaway train" that the federal government itself has acknowledged is out of control.1 His refusal to endorse the reform framework has created widespread uncertainty about when new support services will be introduced in Queensland.1 The Thriving Kids program, a A$4 billion initiative designed for children aged eight and under with developmental delays or autism requiring low to moderate support, has already launched in other jurisdictions.1 However, Queensland's non-signature has left residents unclear about the timing of this service's arrival in the state.1
NDIS Minister Jenny McCallister responded by noting that Queensland families are "rightfully asking their state government what the Thriving Kids service will be."1 While Queensland agreed to establish "foundational supports" in exchange for its share of A$25 billion in hospital funding, the state's refusal to formally commit to the broader reform process leaves implementation timelines uncertain.1 Other states and territories are set to begin designing and rolling out targeted support from January 2027, with NDIS eligibility changes not scheduled to commence until 2028.1
