Victorian Premier Denis Napthine became emotional while signing the National Disability Insurance Scheme on Saturday. The signing ceremony took place at Yooralla House where Dr. Napthine signed up over Victoria’s $2.5 billion contribution to the NDIS.
“As a person, as a family member, as a carer, as somebody who’s worked in the disability area, and as a politician, I’m very, very proud to be here today as a Victorian, with Victoria signing up to the full disability care system from 2019 and the lead-up to it.
“It’s a great day for Victoria; it’s a great day for people with disabilities, their carers and their families. It is a day we can all be proud of. We are a state who has been very much on the front foot of fighting for a national disability insurance scheme,” Dr Nathpine said.
NDIS promises lifelong care for people with permanent disabilities. It involves $2.6 billion of Commonwealth funding along with Victoria’s $2.5 billion contribution. Following the footsteps of Victoria, Queensland is expected to sign up to the National Disability Insurance Scheme as soon as next week.
“Every Victorian can feel the peace of mind of knowing that disability care would be there to support them. I want to say thank you to all of those who have argued for disability care for decades now,” PM Gillard said.
