Portfolio — 7 May 2026

Tribune’s note

Minister McAllister launched the Disability Peer Support and Connections Program, an open competitive grant offering up to $517 million over five years to organisations supporting people with disability, their families and carers. The program directly implements recommendations from the Independent Review into the NDIS, targeting improvements in independence, information quality and national coverage of supports.

Implementation will proceed in partnership with States and Territories, with applications managed through GrantConnect.
