What the program offers
Inclusion Agencies
Inclusion Agencies work with services to identify and address any barriers to inclusion.
Inclusion Development Fund
The Inclusion Development Fund and the Specialist Equipment Library provide extra support if barriers are identified that Inclusion Agencies cannot resolve.
The Inclusion Development Fund is managed by the Inclusion Development Fund Manager. The fund manager assesses applications and ensures eligible services have equal access to the fund.
Get in touch
There is a national Inclusion Development Fund Manager and 7 Inclusion agencies. Contact your local Inclusion Agency to learn more about the Inclusion Support Program.
