National Disability
Services (NDS) is interested to meet with disability service providers to
learn of their experiences working with Aboriginal communities as part of the
NDS Aboriginal Resources and Pathways Project.
The
project will identify
and promote effective ways for disability services to attract and provide
services for Aboriginal people with a disability, their families and carers. The
project focuses on Sydney Metro, Illawarra, Shoalhaven and the Far South Coast
of NSW, which are the Eora, Tharawal and Yuin Aboriginal Nations.
Local
networks of disability services and Aboriginal communities will be established
to support disability services connect with Aboriginal people with a disability
and their families and carers. Their experiences will inform the development of
online resources to assist all services connect with Aboriginal communities.
