Co-designing Resources to Increase Access to Information and Services: Syrian and Iraqi people with disability from refugee backgrounds and service providers

People with disability and their families from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds find it hard to get Arabic-language information about services and supports they can access in Australia.

 

Researchers at Deakin University and UNSW Sydney, along with partner organisations, co-designed with people with disability and family members from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds and settlement and disability services, seven short videos in Arabic-language.

 

Six videos provide information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and one is about coming to Australia as a family with disability. The videos are in Arabic with English sub-titles.
