The name Queensland Tape Service for the Handicapped was changed in 1997 to Queensland Narrating Service to more adequately reflect and describe the services provided. By this time narrators were recording onto cassette recording machines using home-standard recording machines with a microphone input adaptation. There were around 50 volunteer narrators.

Queensland Narrating Service is still partly funded by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (Australian Govt.) and Disability Services Queensland. Three part time Development Officers are employed to liaise with State and Local government departments, community organisations and the corporate sector. A sound engineer converts analogue to digital audio and manages technological updating. QNS still relies on cost-recovery for business to continue.
