The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the major policy innovations of the early 21st century in Australia, representing a new way of delivering services to people with a disability and those who care for them. It has the potential to transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, giving them greater certainty and control over their lives. There is a higher incidence of disability in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population than in the Australian population more generally, so the NDIS is of particular relevance to Indigenous Australians. However, Indigenous Australians with a disability have a very distinct age, geographic and health profile, which differs from that of the equivalent non-Indigenous population. Furthermore, the conceptualisation of disability and care in many Indigenous communities, particularly in remote areas, may differ markedly in comparison to more settled parts of the country, and there is the added complexity of a unique history of interaction with government. In considering these issues in detail, this Research Monograph provides a resource for policy makers, researchers and service providers who are working in this important policy area. Its major conclusion is that the NDIS, if it is to be an effective policy for Indigenous Australians, needs to take into account their very particular needs and aspirations.

The Aboriginal People Travelling Well commenced in 2005 to explore access to safe transport and the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people in South Australia. For example, given a need to travel - for work, education, medical services, family or cultural reasons, or recreation - and limited transport options, a person might travel in an unsafe way rather than not travel. This review examines the Australian literature on this issue, including driver licensing, use of seat restraints, access to transport, and health and disability needs.

This paper seeks to fill a gap in existing literature on disability among Indigenous peoples. Disability prevalence was established for each of the three Indigenous groups based on the Disability Screening Questions (DSQ), included in the APS for the first time in 2017. The study also uses data from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD), this data source is used to establish disability rates for the non-Indigenous population, to help contextualize findings for First Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit.

The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding of the numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with disability in Australian higher education and the support they currently receive. Further, the report provides a series of recommendations for good-practice in supporting this group of students based on a review of the literature and an understanding of current support practices in the higher education sector. The report comprises four distinct sections. The first section of the report examines the extant literature pertaining to disability services in higher education, disability support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and the supports available for Indigenous students in higher education. The literature review is extensive, though not exhaustive, and seeks to discern the key factors that affect the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with disability. The final section of the report combines all these findings and makes recommendations for working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with disability at Australian universities.

A qualitative research method was used to determine why Aboriginal people with intellectual disabilities are more highly represented in institutional placements than they are in community-based services. The study takes place in Manitoba and identifies several themes that explain why more Aboriginal people are institutionalized and taken away from their communities. These themes include: lack of services in reserve communities, confusion about which branch of government is responsible for services, and consequently a lack of funding for community-based services. Compounding the problem further are issues such as poverty and racism.

Currently in Manitoba, Aboriginal people with intellectual disabilities are more highly represented in institutional placements than they are in community based services. At a time when citizens with intellectual disabilities are demanding to be included as full participants in society, it appears that the institutional experience continues to be the norm for people who are Aboriginal. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the reason for this. Qualitative research was the method of inquiry used in this study. Interviews were conducted with people from federal and provincial governments, community service agencies, Aboriginal service agencies, advocacy groups, and perhaps most importantly, people with intellectual disabilities and their families. These participants identified several themes that help to explain why Aboriginal people with intellectual disabilities have been institutionalized. These themes include: a lack of services in reserve communities, a lack of clear legislation and policy about which branch of government is responsible, and consequently a lack of funding from which to draw. Issues such as poverty, racism, and a history of off-reserve service provision further compound the problems. Even in off-reserve communities Aboriginal people are not highly involved in community based services. In spite of the array of difficulties that exist participants also identified several reasons for optimism.

"Aboriginal people are one and half times more likely to have a disability than non-Aboriginal people. Addressing the relatively low rate at which Aboriginal people access ADHC's direct and funded services is a significant challenge for Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC). This report presents the findings of our review of the implementation of ADHC's Aboriginal Policy Framework and Aboriginal Consultation Strategy, which articulates ADHC's commitment to improving service delivery to Aboriginal people. Our review has identified a number of positive steps made by ADHC to implement this commitment in a practical way, together with a range of areas where its focus can be strengthened"--Ombudsman's message.
