The Disability Network
A big vision by a small group in 2005 as part of the International Day of people with a disability, ATSIDNQ has grown into a network of members with a strong voice. Our members, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with a disability, their carers are connecting, sharing and speaking up about issues that matter most to them. From the Gold Coast to the Gulf, Toowoomba to Palm Island, there are many ways the Network is helping members get connected, such as yarning circles, information sharing, a Facebook site and a regular newsletter. The network is supported by Aged and Disability Advocacy Australia (ADA Australia) which has 30 years experience in community services and many years supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Queensland.
