All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged over 16, as well as all National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants aged over 16 and all residents of the Northern Territory, will now be eligible to access the CCP virus vaccines.

This comes after the national cabinet approved the expansion last week to speed up the vaccine rollout across the disability sector, which will see dedicated hubs for people with disabilities, support workers, and primary carers.
