Long Summary

This study applied an intersectional analytic framework to explore and understand Aboriginal carers’ experiences of interactions with health, social, and education providers in accessing services and support for their child with a disability. Research found that experiences of interaction with providers indicated marginalisation and a lack of empowerment, which were due to racism and stereotyping, a lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity, and poverty and homelessness. Findings suggest that community-led models of care may help overcome the intersectional effects of forms of oppression.
