For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with intellectual disability, access to effective and culturally safe health care is an important part of health and well-being.
Healthcare professionals have an important role in providing care that is respectful, culturally safe, and that meets individual needs. This includes understanding communication needs, supporting access to services, and recognising the range of factors that contribute to overall health.
In this episode, we speak with Kristy Petrie, a Gooreng Gooreng woman who works as physiotherapist in paediatrics alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families across south-eastern Queensland. Her work includes supporting children to achieve meaningful goals while helping families navigate complex systems such as the NDIS.
We also speak with Madeleine Prasad, a Gunditjmara Wurundjeri woman who is a First Nations disability advocate, a member of the First Nations advisory group at the Centre and a member of the Deadly First Nations Shout Out Group.
