People who were not born in Australia have trouble navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme


Subsequent to publication of this podcast, the National Disability Insurance Agency did get back to SBS News.

The NDIA says it is committed to delivering a consistent and quality experience for participants.

The agency adds that more than five and a half per cent of NDIS participants are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and that is close to the expected access range.
