Establishment of a National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health (‘National Centre’) is a key priority action under the National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability (‘the Roadmap’).

The National Centre will be fundamental to successful delivery of the Roadmap. The National Centre will serve as a source of expert advice for implementing other measures under the Roadmap.

Establishment of the National Centre was announced by the Australian Government as a 2022 election commitment. Through the October 2022 Budget, the Government announced funding for the National Centre as an ongoing measure under Program 1.6: Primary Health Care Quality and Coordination. The Government has allocated a total of up to $22.064 million (GST exclusive) over 4 years from 2022-23 in initial funding for the National Centre, with funding to continue into the future beyond those 4 years.
