Phase Two of the NDIS Workforce Research Project will focus on producing a further State-wide report and a set of six action research case studies.

Yarning Up About Human Rights
An understanding of human rights is something that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with disability, their families and communities, need to know and use in everyday life.

 

First Peoples Disability Network Australia (FPDN) has developed a culturally safe ‘Know your Human Rights’ training workshop to empower community to understand how to use this knowledge and be confident to speak up for individual human rights. Workshops are a safe space here people can learn, yarn and share stories.
