Community Inclusion Initiative
Inclusion Designlab was part of the Community Inclusion Initiative coordinated by the National Disability Services.
NDS established the Community Inclusion Initiative to help inform the provision of community participation support under the NDIS. As part of the initiative, 11 service providers from across Australia worked with 46 people with disability to explore community participation from the perspectives of service users and families, service providers, the disability system, mainstream services and the community.
