NDS NSW has launched the Aboriginal Resources and Pathways website. The site brings together a range of resources to assist disability service providers to develop strategies to enhance the rates of access of Aboriginal people with disability, including:

• Information on government initiatives and projects.
• Current research on disability in Aboriginal communities.
• Literature on successful and practical ways disability services have established services targeted at Aboriginal communities
• A population data hub on Aboriginal communities by Local Government Area across NSW.
• Information about events, local networks and community interagencies that foster networking between Aboriginal communities and disability services.
• The inhibiters and enablers experienced by disability services in working effectively with Aboriginal communities and ways to overcome those barriers.
• Information about local networks of disability services and Aboriginal communities developed under the ARP.
• Questions and suggestions section for disability services and Aboriginal communities to upload information.

NDS encourages interested parties to update information, suggest practical resources, update local community events or to join a local network of disability services and Aboriginal communities in their jurisdiction. See Project Coordinator John Gilroy details below.
