At Arafura Community Care, we believe that great disability support isn’t just about meeting physical needs—it’s about respecting who you are, where you come from, and the stories you carry.
"For our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, we know that "health" isn't just about the individual body. It is about the health of the whole community and the connection to the land. That is why Cultural Safety is a core part of how we deliver our NDIS services."
What does "Culturally Safe Support" mean?
It means walking into a space where you don’t have to leave your culture at the door. It means working with support workers who understand the importance of family obligations, Men’s and Women’s Business, and the need for a “yarn” to build trust before diving into paperwork.
How we walk with you
- Listening First: We take the time to listen to you and your family. We know that in the Top End, relationships come first.
- Respecting Choices: Whether you prefer support on Country or in your home, we respect your preferences and your way of doing things.
- Two-Way Learning: We bring our disability expertise, and you bring your expertise on your life and culture. We work together to reach your goals.
Your NDIS journey should make you feel strong and supported. If you are looking for a provider who understands the local community and respects our shared history, come and have a yarn with us today.
