On 22 October 2021, the Australian Government and the Government of Queensland signed the Intergovernmental Agreement on State Service Delivery to Norfolk Island (IGA) to support the delivery of Queensland services to Norfolk Island.
Commencing from 1 January 2022, the Queensland Government is currently delivering educational services at the Norfolk Island Central School (NICS) and providing support and oversight of the Norfolk Island Health and Residential Aged Care Service (NIHRACS).
The partnership with Queensland provides stability and certainty for the community for these essential services.
The agreement between the Australian and Queensland governments allows for the extension of state services beyond health support and education. The Australian and Queensland governments are working together to identify and negotiate additional services that Queensland may deliver to Norfolk Island in the future.
The Norfolk Island community will continue to be informed and engaged as this work progresses, in line with the Community Engagement Framework.
