A landmark report has been released to tell the lived experiences and stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability.
Launched by the First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN), Culture is inclusion: A narrative of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability has been brought to life following a two-year community-directed research project, led by Scott Avery.
“This research tells a story of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability that has been hidden until now,” he says.
