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.

This bill implements a 'No Card, No Start' policy requiring all workers in child-related employment to hold a valid blue card before commencing work. It also modernises the blue card application process, creates a register to monitor home-based care services, and expands the list of offences that disqualify people from working with children.
