Qld, NT may get NDIS trial sites

Queensland and the commonwealth have agreed to discuss a trial site for the NDIS.

Queenslanders could get a trial of the national disability insurance scheme while the Northern Territory could get a second trial site.

The federal government has agreed to discuss the possibility of the pilots following a Council of Australia Governments meeting in Canberra on Friday.

"We need to look after our most vulnerable - that is the people with a disability," Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said after the meeting as she welcomed the development.
