Information, Linkages and Capacity Building – Individual Capacity Building Grant Opportunity

Funding of up to $90 million over three years will be available to deliver one-off, time-limited activities to support systemic, nationwide access to peer support, mentoring, self-advocacy and other skills building for people with disability, their family and carers.

The intended outcomes of the program are people with disability, their families and carers will have increased skills and knowledge:

• about disability rights and self-advocacy
• to socially connect and develop meaningful relationships
• to navigate and connect with services and supports they need
• to enable greater independence and
• to make their own decisions, participate, lead and contribute in the community.

Activities should be co-designed with people with people with disability aligning with Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031 and be about changing attitudes and practices, resulting in improved delivery of disability services and developing better practices to support people with disability in achieving their life goals.
