You might not have heard of it, but part of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the Information, Linkages and Capacity building (ILC), which has started rolling out across Australia.

Through ILC, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) can provide grants to organisations to to deliver activities to create real and lasting change for people with disability and their communities.

ILC focuses on ensuring communities are more inclusive of people with disablity. According to the NDIS website, this can be done through:

• Personal capacity building - ensuring people with disability and their families have the skills, resources and confidence they need to participate in the community or access the same kind of opportunities or services as other people.
• Community capacity building - ensuring mainstream services or community organisations become more inclusive of people with disability.
