(1) The DisabilityCare Australia Fund (DCAF) was established on 1 July 2014 by the DCAF Act 2013. DCAF is funded from the Medicare Levy increase of half a percentage point, from 1.5 to 2 per cent which took effect from 1 July 2014. The DCAF National Partnership Agreement facilitates the payment of funds from the DCAF by the Commonwealth to the States to reimburse them for the increased expenditure incurred in relation to the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013. Funding received from the Commonwealth is contingent on our ongoing contribution to the NDIS for the provision of disability supports.
