African Australians with disability and the NDIS: Exploring the support and service needs of African Australians with disability

Chief Investigator: Dr Claire Spivakovsky

This project explores the experiences of African Australians with disability seeking access to the NDIS. Particular focus is on the gaps that form between the available support, this group's service needs, and the coverage of the NDIS. The exploration will include consideration of this group's awareness of NDIS coverage; the pathways African Australians with disability take to access the NDIS; the funding experiences and outcomes, including the transition period; and intersecting factors, including migration and settlement experiences that shape each of the above.
