The NDIA is pleased to share the NDIS Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (CALD) Strategy and Action Plan 2024-2028 to better support people with a disability from all cultural and language backgrounds.
The CALD Strategy and Action Plan include 6 key priorities and 28 actions to:
- support CALD communities to better access and use the NDIS
- improve NDIS plans to reflect the needs of CALD participants.
We co-designed the CALD Strategy and Action Plan with more than 800 people from CALD communities. We’ve also translated these resources in 17 languages, including Auslan.
We would like to thank the National Ethnic Disability Alliance (NEDA), our External Advisory Group (EAG) with representatives from 32 organisations, and all the communities and stakeholders who contributed to this work.
We will continue to work with you to make sure we are meeting the needs of CALD communities – now, and into the future.
We will also publish regular reports to track our progress.
