What people say about mdaa cultural abilities

Registration

"One positive thing (of the training) was a relief of some of my thoughts/feelings - they are not wrong just what I have been exposed to."

- Training Workshop Participant

'It was a privilege to meet with you all and I was very inspired by your organisation. The Community Voices program and your respect for people with disabilities really stood out. I hope we might some day move to a model similar to yours in sexual assault services.'

- Julie Blyth, Northern Sydney Sexual Assault Service

"Being a "culturally competent" organisation is a great thing for people with a disability and their families who receive or need access to our services. As a growing organisation working in new communities, we knew it was important to address cultural competence to ensure equitable accessibility and to maximise community awareness of our new services. MDAA provided a fantastic service and worked with us to develop a heightened awareness and better structures for promoting and providing services to culturally diverse groups."

- Matt Donnelly, Group Manager Therapy Resource and Training Services, Sunnyfield

"It assisted me in widening my perspective of what culture involves and gave me some ideas regarding problem solving, eg, which member of the family to approach, whether to accept coffee and food, etc"

- Training Workshop Participant

"The training was very confronting, challenging my personal views and concepts."

- Jonathan Xavier, Woodville Community Services
