NDIS participants from cultural and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

The development of the new NDIS CALD Strategy for 2023-27 is nearing completion. The Strategy aims to improve outcomes for people with disability from CALD backgrounds to access the NDIS.

It has been developed through a co-design process with people with disability from CALD backgrounds, their families, carers and the multicultural community sector, including Shepparton.

Once the new Strategy receives formal endorsement from external stakeholders in August, it will go through a translation and design process and be publicly released in November-December.
