Disability is an issue that affects our Aboriginal Communities but is rarely acknowledged or discussed

Aboriginal people are twice as likely as non-Aboriginal people to have a severe or profound disability. In 2018, 24% of Indigenous Australians were living with a disability and 8.8% had a severe or profound disability. At the same time, the NDIS was providing support to 40,842 Indigenous participants. Among Indigenous Australians of all ages living in private households, 24% (139,700 people) were living with disability and 8.8% (51,100) had severe or profound disability in 2018 (ABS 2021).

More Jobs More Care

Yilabara was contracted by the Department of Communities and Justice to deliver More Jobs More Care Phase 2 across Western NSW.

The core focus of this project was to increase the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander NDIS participation plan utilisation by increasing the number of Aboriginal organisations delivering NDIS supports and improving the cultural capability of non-Indigenous NDIS providers.
