Why it matters

Support that already understands you

Too many mob have had to explain themselves to a provider that doesn't get it — or gone without support that feels safe. We started Tegrity to change that. Tegrity is Aboriginal-owned and Aboriginal-led, with many of our support workers, coordinators and participants Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or from other First Nations communities. If you need an Indigenous NDIS provider or First Nations disability support in Sydney — this is it. With us, you don't have to translate your culture, your family or your community. It's already understood.

Cultural safety

A team that gets it

Aboriginal support workers and coordinators who understand how culture, kinship and community shape your goals — and build supports around them, not over them.

Trust & consistency

The same faces

You meet your worker before anything starts, and you keep a small, consistent team. No strangers at the door, no telling your story over and over.

Connection

On Country, in community

Real outings and community participation that keep you connected — including our weekly rec group. Support that helps you live a connected life, not just attend appointments.

What we do

Two services, done well

Aboriginal support work

Day-to-day support that fits your life — at home, in the community and out on Country. Matched to you, with cultural safety at the centre.

  • Daily life & personal care — practical help, your way.
  • Community participation — outings, groups, sport and recreation.
  • Same consistent team — you meet them first, and can say no.
  • Connected to community — including the weekly rec group.

Aboriginal support coordination

A coordinator who turns your NDIS plan into supports that actually start — and who walks alongside you, mob to mob.

  • Plan into action — supports that start, not stall.
  • One named coordinator — the same person every call.
  • Every option on the table — never just Tegrity.
  • Available across Sydney — Inner West, City and Eastern Suburbs.

Aboriginal-owned. Open to all.

Being Aboriginal-owned is who we are and how we work — it's not a gate. We support participants from every background across Sydney with the same care, consistency and respect. Cultural safety makes us better for everyone. What culturally safe NDIS support means in practice →

What it means

Culturally safe, Aboriginal-owned support — explained

Aboriginal-owned vs a provider with a Reconciliation Action Plan — what’s the difference?

A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a public commitment a mainstream organisation makes to improve how it works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It’s a genuinely good thing — but it sits alongside a business that isn’t Aboriginal-led. Aboriginal-owned means the ownership, the decision-making and the day-to-day support all come from within community. At Tegrity, cultural safety isn’t a policy document or a one-off training module — it’s who our owners, coordinators and support workers are, and how we show up every shift. A participant never has to explain their culture, and a family doesn’t have to hope the values on a website reach the person who actually turns up at the door.

Cultural safety vs cultural awareness — what’s the difference?

Cultural awareness is knowing that different cultures exist and having some understanding of them. Cultural safety goes further: it’s the participant — not the provider — who decides whether a service feels safe, respectful and free of judgement. An organisation can be culturally aware after a one-day course; cultural safety is felt in the relationship, over time, when the same worker shows up, listens, and adjusts to what matters to you. It’s the difference between a provider knowing about Sorry Business and a provider that simply makes space for it. What culturally safe support looks like day to day →

How do I find and choose an Aboriginal NDIS provider in Sydney?

Ask direct questions and expect plain answers. Is the provider actually Aboriginal-owned, or a mainstream provider with a RAP? Will I have Aboriginal support workers and a coordinator, and can I meet them before supports start? How do you keep the same team around me? Can I request a worker of a particular gender or background? A genuinely culturally safe provider will answer these clearly and won’t rush you, and you can look for high-trust signals like registration with Supply Nation. If it helps to talk it through, call us on (02) 7265 1558 — no pressure, and we’ll be honest if another provider is the better fit.

Aboriginal disability support services in Sydney — what’s included?

Our Aboriginal disability support services cover the two things we do well and nothing we don’t: Aboriginal support work — help at home, personal care, daily living and community participation, including the weekly rec group — and Aboriginal support coordination, helping you understand and use your plan. Both are delivered by an Aboriginal-owned, NDIS-registered team (4050099017) across Sydney’s Inner West, City and Eastern Suburbs, plus Bankstown, Liverpool and surrounding south-west suburbs. If you need something we don’t deliver — therapy, plan management, accommodation — we’ll say so and help you find it. What makes support culturally safe →

Connection to Country, community and family in support planning

For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, good support isn’t only about tasks — it’s about staying connected to Country, community and family while getting the help you need. Because our owners, coordinators and many of our workers are Aboriginal, that connection is part of how support is planned rather than an add-on: family and kinship have a place in planning conversations if you want them there, community events and yarns are things a support shift can be built around, and space is made for cultural obligations — including Sorry Business — without you having to explain why they matter. Tell us what connection looks like for you, and we’ll build the roster around it.

Searching for “Indigenous NDIS support”? A note on names

Plenty of people search for Indigenous NDIS support or an Indigenous disability service — and if that’s the word you used, you’re in the right place. We say Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples out of respect for distinct communities, cultures and identities, and because that’s how our own team describes themselves. Whichever term you searched, the support is the same: culturally safe, Aboriginal-owned NDIS support work and support coordination, delivered across Sydney.

In their words

"Tegrity matched me with an Aboriginal Support Coordinator and Aboriginal Support Workers — support I'd found really difficult to access anywhere else. Having a team that understands my culture means everything."

Questions, answered

Aboriginal NDIS support — your questions

Is Tegrity Services an Aboriginal-owned NDIS provider?

Yes. Tegrity Services is genuinely Aboriginal-owned, with many of our support workers, support coordinators and participants Aboriginal. Our team understands culture, community and family because they live it.

Can I request an Aboriginal support worker through the NDIS?

Yes. You can choose a provider whose workers reflect your culture and community, and your NDIS support-work funding can be used with Tegrity. Because we're Aboriginal-owned, with Aboriginal support workers and coordinators on our team, we can often match you with someone who understands your culture, family and community — just ask when you get in touch. See our step-by-step guide to requesting an Aboriginal support worker through your NDIS plan.

What does culturally safe NDIS support actually look like?

It means support where you don't have to explain or justify your culture — your worker already understands. In practice that's respect for family and community, listening before acting, flexibility around cultural and community obligations, and the same consistent workers building genuine trust over time instead of a rotation of strangers. As an Aboriginal-owned team, that's simply how we work.

Do I need to prove I'm Aboriginal to get culturally safe support?

No. We don't ask you to prove your identity. If you identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and want culturally safe support, you're welcome — and so is everyone else. Tegrity is Aboriginal-owned and open to all; how you'd like to be supported is your choice.

Will I get the same Aboriginal support worker each time?

We build the service around consistency — the same small team who know you, not strangers each week. Where you've asked for an Aboriginal worker, we keep that continuity wherever we can, right across Sydney.

Do you only support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants?

No. We are Aboriginal-owned and culturally safe, and we warmly support participants from every background across Sydney.

What areas do you cover for Aboriginal NDIS support in Sydney?

We provide support work and support coordination across Sydney — including Redfern, the Inner West, the City and the Eastern Suburbs.

Can a support coordinator refer an Aboriginal participant to Tegrity?

Yes. Support coordinators can refer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants to us and we acknowledge every referral the same business day. We confirm cultural fit and capacity before anything starts.

Is there an Aboriginal NDIS provider in Sydney?

Yes. Tegrity Services is an Aboriginal-owned, NDIS-registered provider operating across Sydney. We deliver support work, support coordination and community participation — with Aboriginal support workers and coordinators on the team. NDIS provider number 4050099017, registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission until October 2028. We cover Redfern, the Inner West, the City, Eastern Suburbs and South-West Sydney.

What is the difference between Aboriginal NDIS support and regular NDIS support?

The NDIS supports are the same — support work, coordination, community participation. What is different with an Aboriginal provider is cultural safety: your worker already understands how culture, family and community shape your life, so you do not have to explain or justify it. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, this makes the difference between support they can actually use and support they walk away from. For a fair, detailed comparison, see Aboriginal-owned vs mainstream NDIS providers.

Can First Nations and Indigenous Australians use the NDIS and access culturally safe support?

Yes. First Nations and Indigenous Australians living with disability can access the NDIS on the same basis as any other Australian. You can request an Aboriginal or culturally safe provider — the NDIS does not restrict your choice. Tegrity Services is Aboriginal-owned and delivers NDIS support across Sydney, and we are open to all participants regardless of background.
