Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) National Readiness Project

Extending on the successful Interplay Project, which Ninti One delivered under the Cooperative Research Centre for Remote Economic Participation, the Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) National Readiness Project intended to increase the independence, social and community participation of people with disability.

Ninti One were awarded funding for this project by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). Through this project, Ninti One worked with five remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Northern Territory (Tiwi Islands, Groote Eylandt, Yirrkala, Tennant Creek, Ntaria and Mutitjulu and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands) to ensure people living with disability have the capacity and capability to participate in community life and are empowered to make their own decisions and choices.

The project led to the development of the Disability in the Bush app, which provides information about and support opportunities from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
