The National Disability Insurance Scheme will roll out in Queensland from July.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told parliament on Thursday Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had signed a bilateral agreement on the scheme, paving the way for its three-year rollout across the state from July.

"The NDIS empowers people with a disability to access the supports they need to reach their goals and live the lives they choose," Ms Palaszczuk said.
