Long Summary

This paper highlights the challenges faced by culturally and racially marginalised (CARM) families face when seeking access to disability and aged care services and support. Many CARM families face isolation and difficulty accessing support due to misconceptions about their support networks, as well as poorly resourced urban areas. Research emphasises the need for holistic and integrated support systems that take into account the intersectionality of disability, race, indigeneity, class, and gender. The article also advocates for the inclusion of marginalised communities in policy development to create more effective and inclusive support structures.

    Key Messages for Carers


  • Carers should look for support systems that provide holistic and integrated care. This can ensure that the unique circumstances of each family are adequately considered and supported.
  • Carers are encouraged to engage in advocacy and policy discussions to ensure their voices are heard, and in doing so, carers can help shape more effective and inclusive support systems and services.
  • Carers can leverage community resources and networks to navigate complex care systems more effectively.

  • Key Messages for Policy Makers


  • For CARM families navigating care transitions, processes are doubly challenging due to property and guardianship laws which are in English.
  • Policy makers and service providers should not assume families will support ageing children living with disability, and should take into account different family structures when considering requirements for care transition.
