Why Language Matters in Disability Support Work

Language can make a real difference in disability support.

Some NDIS participants prefer support workers who speak their first language or understand their cultural background.

  • Respect for food preferences, cultural routines and religious practices

  • Stronger trust between participants, families and support workers
