Federal Disability Reform Minister Jenny Macklin says she will keep urging Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory to join DisabilityCare.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman says he is close to signing up to the national scheme.
Ms Macklin has welcomed his comment, and has given an assurance that the scheme will not be centralised.
"In the delivery of the launch sites we'll have offices in Geelong, in Newcastle, in Launceston and Hobart and Devonport," she said.
"We do understand how important it is for people with disability to have services in the communities where they live."
New South Wales, South Australia, the ACT and Tasmania have also signed up to the full roll-out.
