This paper argues the National Disability Insurance Scheme must enhance collaboration with participants, local communities and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, disability service providers, and the wider health system, to develop more locally led solutions that empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Deaf or Hard of Hearing participants to achieve better outcomes.

This project aimed to understand what helps, and what makes it hard for First Nations NDIS participants who are deaf or hard of hearing, to use their NDIS plans in a way that meet their needs and aspirations.

This report considers the systemic failures of the Disability Support Pension application and review processes and the harm caused to individuals with disability by their interaction with Centrelink. The report is also a submission to the Senate Inquiry on the purpose, intent and adequacy of the Disability Support Pension.

This mixed-methods project aims to better understand how and why NDIS plan utilisation rates may vary amongst Victorian NDIS participants.
