The National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (the NDIS Act) is not
intended to override the Disability Services Act 1993 (DSA).
The NDIS Act is intended to operate concurrently with state disability laws
as outlined in section 207(1) of the Act. This section says that this Act is
not to apply to the exclusion of a law of a State or Territory to the extent
that that law is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.
In the event of an inconsistency between the two laws, the NDIS Act will
override the DSA in accordance with section 109 of the Commonwealth
Constitution.
