Ensuring Indigenous Australians with acquired brain injuries have equitable access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme

摘要

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has the potential to change the lives of Indigenous Australians living with an acquired brain injury (ABI) by providing much needed services and support. We believe it is imperative that greater effort and resources be focused on ensuring that Indigenous Australians with an ABI can access accurate and culturally acceptable cognitive assessment of a similar standard to that available for non-Indigenous Australians.
