Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, functions of the former Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy have been transferred to other departments. Work is underway to update departments' websites.

Queensland Community Support Scheme

The Queensland Community Support Scheme (QCSS) provides support to people who, with a small amount of help, can maintain or regain their independence, continue living safely in their homes, and actively participate in their communities.

You may be eligible for the scheme if you are under 65 years old (or under 50 years old for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) with:

  • a disability (and are not eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme)
  • chronic illness, mental health or other condition, or
  • circumstances that impact your ability to live independently in the community.
