Community Connectors

Key learnings:
• Aboriginal Community Controlled sector services
provide extensive range of culturally appropriate
services
• These services have evolved to meet need.
• Mainstream services not owned and controlled
by Aboriginal people are often not appropriate
• Lack of other services available in rural and
remote communities

Service providers
The absence of appropriate service providers has
the following effects:
• Inability to
implement plan
• No support
• Missed employment
opportunities

Supporting access

The document provides information on community engagement tools for engaging culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in disability services. It includes five guides and three videos on topics like stigma, data collection, and partnerships. Consultations found that some organizations effectively engage CALD communities but others lack understanding and CALD representation. Barriers include poor communication, lack of input, and standardized data collection. The tools can help frontline workers, managers, and planners. Stories highlight themes like isolation, importance of engagement, language barriers, person-centeredness, family needs, and building trust over time through respect and listening.
