ABSTRACT

In 2014–15, around 333,800 people used disability support services under the National Disability Agreement (NDA), including around 1,900 who transitioned to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) during the year. Many (44%) had an intellectual or learning disability, more than half (52%) lived with their families, and close to one-third (30%) of those aged 15 and over were not in the labour force.

In 2014–15, 6% of service users were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with most aged under 50 (84%).
