Remembering, Listening, Acting
🖤💛❤️ Today, on National Sorry Day, we reflect on the trauma and strength of all First Nations Peoples, and the Stolen Generations, and renew our commitment to reconciliation.
At the NGO Training Centre, we recognise that First Nations peoples with disability often face multiple, overlapping forms of disadvantage, from systemic racism to ableism and exclusion from mainstream services.
In fact, did you know?
That First Nations Peoples have some of the highest rates of disability yet are underrepresented in disability policy and service delivery?
We’re proud to support NDIS providers and organisations to:
- Deliver culturally safe and trauma-informed services
- Contextualise training for First Nation’s Peoples, and
- Build inclusive and person-centred care training through collaboration with First Nations communities and subject matter experts.
As a Disability or Aged Care provider, what can you do?
- Learn about the Bringing Them Home Report
- Explore the work of First Peoples Disability Network
- Review your organisation’s approach, including policies, to cultural safety and inclusion
- Does your organisation have a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)? If not, here’s how you can get started: https://www.reconciliation.org.au/reconciliation-action-plans/
- Partner with the NGO Training Centre to build the capability of workers in this space with our high-quality training!
National Sorry Day reminds us that reconciliation includes everyone, especially those whose voices are often unheard.
Let’s keep listening👂learning🎓 and walking together 👣👣towards true reconciliation.
