While CALD communities constitute 50% of the Australian population, they represented only 9.4% (42,265) of all NDIS participants as per the census. The reasons are barriers to access, cultural/religious/economic limitations, and the inability to assimilate into a new environment.
To change this scenario, NDIS developed its “Cultural and Linguistic Diversity” strategy in 2018. This strategy reaped positive results, and we at Authentic Care aim to take it forward. We stand in support of diversity, and inclusion is one of the founding principles of our organisation.
To learn more about CALD communities, visit the official NDIS website at www.ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110.
