Back to EpisodesNew Program Brings Disability Support to WA's Remote Regions
Description
A new joint program is revolutionizing disability support in Western Australias remote and rural areas. The initiative, backed by state and federal governments, brings National Disability Insurance Scheme services directly to communities through allied health workers. Providers like Flight2Health and Hireup are offering fly-in fly-out staff, reducing travel to cities. The program, set to run for eighteen months in five regions, aims to match services to local needs. However, concerns remain about the exclusion of the Kimberley region, home to many Indigenous people.
