This initiative supports the vision of South Australia where all people with disability can participate as equal citizens and feel connected to their communities.

Funding will be prioritised for projects that:

  • Promoting active participation and inclusive communities
  • Promotion of inclusive behaviours and attitudes
  • Improving accessibility to natural and built environments
  • Enhancing accessibility of communication and information
  • Cultural and creative participation
  • Access to technology and digital inclusion
