The aim of this grant opportunity is that people with disability, their families and carers are supported to participate in, contribute to and benefit from the same community activities as everyone else. The Social and Community Participation stream provides for inclusive practices to create opportunities for people with disability to participate in community life, with a focus on arts,culture, sport and recreation. The grant round seeks to support community inclusion for people with disability, their families and carers during the current COVID-19 restrictive social environment and through recovery support to reengage in community participation as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.Service models should consider sustainability of services beyond the current pandemic and be able to be scaled up or down in the event of future disasters.
