First Peoples Disability Network, in partnership with Jumbunna Research UTS, has officially launched the Our Way: Strengthening First Nations Disability Sector survey.

The Network is inviting Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs), Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), and both First Nations and non-Indigenous NDIS and disability service providers from across Australia to share their experiences.

FPDN Director of Strategy and Policy Tennille Lamb told National Indigenous Times the survey "is about listening deeply and making sure that support is culturally safe and community-led".

"We know the incredible work happening in communities every day, often with limited resources," she said.

"By sharing their insights, services will be helping to identify priorities, strengthen the sector, and drive the reforms we need for mob with disability and their families.

"We need to hear from the mob working on the ground so we can build an inclusive disability service system that respects culture and puts community at the centre."

"This is more than a survey; it's a step toward real change. Join us in shaping a stronger, culturally safe disability sector for First Nations people."

The Network said insights gathered by the survey will help identify the sector's priorities, guide how FPDN can better support your work, and inform advocacy for critical reforms.

The survey closes 15 November.
