Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander People

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure outlines how your organisation delivers culturally safe, respectful, and inclusive support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure ensures that services acknowledge and respect cultural identity, connection to Country, and community. 

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure is essential for NDIS providers to meet the NDIS Practice Standards and to demonstrate culturally responsive practice. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure supports organisations to build strong relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. 

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure includes: 

• commitment to culturally safe and respectful service delivery, 
• strategies for acknowledging cultural identity, beliefs, and practices,
• processes for engaging with Elders, families, and community organisations,
• guidance on delivering supports that reflect connection to Country and kinship,
• procedures for staff training in cultural competence and awareness, and
• approaches to promoting inclusion and equitable access to services. 

 The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure is user-friendly and can be easily customised to reflect your organisation’s community partnerships and service approach. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People Procedure is an essential procedure for any NDIS provider committed to inclusive, culturally safe support.
