$40 million in community funding to boost independence and self advocacy of Australians with disability

The Australian Government is investing $40 million over two years in self-advocacy and peer support programs so they can continue to support people with disability to engage in our community and to advocate for themselves. The Peer Support and Capacity Building grant program is a one-off grant round available to community-based services to continue the valuable role they play in the community supporting people with disability, families and carers. Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the Hon.

This means there’s never been a more important time to strengthen the services that support people with disability to engage confidently and self-advocate for what is right for them. “The future of the NDIS is in peer-led work, with support for decision-making at its heart. This is the vision of the NDIS Review – to make sure participants have the power and knowledge to navigate how best to use their NDIS funds.
