Victoria and New South Wales strike disability scheme breakthrough
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews met NSW Premier Mike Baird in Sydney on Friday, and with both states close to signing a historic deal with Canberra, the disability support scheme can move from a trial phase to full coverage.
Mr Andrews, Mr Baird and Prime Minister Tony Abbott are expected to announce the funding agreement later this month.
The breakthrough follows reports of a push from within federal cabinet’s expenditure review committee to slow the scheme’s rollout in order to curb the cost.
