‘NDIS is part of my story’ is a strength-based campaign that shares the individual stories of five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from around Australia who have benefited from the NDIS.

Each unique, personal story is told through the art of a different First Nations artists, illustrating the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities around Australia and the diversity of people’s experiences, needs and goals with the NDIS.

The campaign has been co-designed with the NACCHO Communications Initiative Working Group which includes representatives from ACCHOs from all jurisdictions, as well as several NACCHO Affiliates and the First People’s Disability Network.

The campaign is part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communications Initiative, a component of the NDIS Ready project, funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS).
