Helping Hands Family - Autism Services’ Post

I had the privilege of engaging in a deeply insightful conversation with Dr. Richard Fejo, esteemed NDIA Board member and respected Larrakia elder. Our discussion centered on the nuances of providing culturally appropriate care for First Nations people within the NDIS framework. Key points from our dialogue: Cultural Continuum: Dr. Fejo emphasized that cultural competency is not a destination, but a journey. It requires ongoing learning and adaptation as cultures evolve and intersect with modern healthcare practices. Community-Centric Approach: We explored the importance of understanding each community's unique cultural context. This involves not just acknowledging differences, but actively incorporating local knowledge and practices. Language and Communication: We discussed the critical role of language in care delivery. Using appropriate terminology and understanding communication styles can significantly impact the effectiveness of care and build trust with participants. These insights reinforce the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in our field. As providers, we have a responsibility to create spaces where diverse cultural perspectives are not just respected, but actively integrated into our care models. I'm grateful for the opportunity to engage in such a rich dialogue with Dr. Fejo. These conversations challenge us to think more deeply about our practices and inspire us to strive for ever-improving, culturally appropriate care. I'm curious to hear from others in the NDIS and healthcare space: How do you incorporate cultural considerations into your work? What challenges and successes have you experienced in providing culturally appropriate care? #CulturallyAppropriateCare #NDIS #IndigenousHealth #ContinuousLearning #HealthcareInnovation

The work that we (Diversity Scotland / Diversity Company) are doing with NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is amongst some of the most important we've partnered on in the last year, and we're so very proud it. 🌈 This collaboration isn't just about ticking boxes – it's about creating real, lasting change across an entire health and care system. 💙 And ultimately, we're not just working with one organisation here; we're helping the HNY Board of Directors and the HNY Inclusion Assembly to shape the culture of GP surgeries, hospitals, community services, and social care providers across the region.  It's truly meaningful work and we’re always mindful of what's really at stake – the 1.7 million people living in #Humber and #NorthYorkshire.  By forging more inclusive services and workplaces, we're ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, can access inclusive care and feel valued and respected for who they are. The impact of this work is already evident.  As Sue Symington, Chair of the HNY ICB, shared in her blog, the most recent session of our #Board #EDI Essentials programme left board members moved to tears and ready for action. That's the kind of deep, emotional engagement that leads to genuine transformation. 🩵 We're truly humbled to be part of HNY's journey towards true inclusivity. Together, we're not just talking the talk – we're walking the walk, creating a health and care system where everyone can thrive, both as staff and patients. Bring on the positive change! 🙏🏽 https://lnkd.in/eHzUSt5R #Equity #Equality #Inclusion #Belonging #Diversity #DiversityScotland #ScotDiversity #DiversityCompany #DiversityConsultancy #DiversityCo #NHS #NHSNorthYorkshireAndHumber #NorthYorkshireAndHumber #Health #Healthcare #SocialCare #HealthAndSocialCare Andrea Knowles MSc / Alexis McKenzie / Tony McCaffery

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” - Isaac Newton   Day 2 of the Ability Roundtable Supported Independent Living (SIL) National Meeting last week was headlined by NDIS Independent Review Co-Chair, Professor Bruce Bonyhady AM.   Prof. Bonyhady provided delegates with insights into the Independent NDIS Review panel’s thinking, deliberations and recommendations, which left the sector representatives with new perspectives as they plan for the future of home and living supports under the NDIS.   It’s only by bringing organisations together to share, collaborate and solve for future challenges that we can ensure a strong future for the NDIS registered provider sector.   And thank you to Prof. Bonyhady for his leadership, and for his support of the Ability Roundtable as a high-quality benchmarking organisation with powerful communities of practice.   Want to get involved in the Ability Roundtable SIL benchmarking and communities of practice, which represents one third of the SIL market? Contact us through LinkedIn, by emailing team@abilityroundtable.org or through our website: abilityroundtable.org   Ability Roundtable Grainne O.
