Disability Services and Other Legislation (NDIS) Amendment Bill 2019
This bill transitions Queensland's disability services safeguards to the national NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. From 1 July 2019, the Commonwealth takes over regulatory oversight of NDIS providers, including complaints handling, restrictive practices authorisation, and quality monitoring, while Queensland maintains safeguards for state-funded services.

Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill ensures all disability service workers in Queensland undergo proper criminal history screening before providing services. It closes a gap by clarifying that self-employed workers (sole traders) must hold a yellow card, and enables Queensland to share criminal history information with other states as the NDIS rolls out nationally.
