What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

A new report has revealed the obstacles facing migrant and refugee children with disability and their caregivers, and the way they impact their well-being.

The Flinders University report, "Growing up well in a new country," focuses on the support needs of migrant and refugee children with disability and their caregivers, as well as examining the barriers and facilitators to accessing government services and community supports.

The main barriers to accessing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) include traversing the complex system, lack of culturally appropriate education and outreach, challenges with managing existing funding and services and long waitlists to access them.

This situation is worsened by the fact that people on temporary migration visas are ineligible for NDIS support due to an exemption in the Disability Discrimination Act.

Lead author Professor Anna Ziersch says the findings indicate that in addition to the barriers that exist for the general population for NDIS as well as other services, there are a complex array of individual, community and structural factors influencing access to services and the well-being of migrant and refugee children with disability.
