ATSIDNQ - Networking events

ATSIDNQ is a network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability, and their family and carers.  

The Network gives members the opportunity to connect, celebrate their strengths, have a yarn and share their stories and contribute to the conversation about disability in a culturally safe space.

The ATSIDNQ Team has Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff who work with members to listen and understand the issues that are impacting on them and within their  communities.  With permission, this information is raised at local, state and federal levels to inform Government and policy makers of the ongoing issues impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with disability.

• Accessing disability support services including the NDIS
