Australian Government opens Mainstream Capacity Building Grant Round 2019-2020

One of the Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) programs outlined in the ILC Investment Strategy is the Mainstream Capacity Building Program. 

The Australian Government is inviting applications via an open competitive process to apply to deliver ILC grant activities nationally for up to three years from 2019-20.

It is the aim of this Mainstream Capacity Building (MCB) grant round to fund activities that will enable:

  • people with disability to use and benefit from the same mainstream health services as everyone else
  • improved access and utilisation of mainstream health services where mainstream supports available.

The intended outcomes of the MCB activities are:

  • increased understanding of mainstream personnel about disability and inclusion
  • improved inclusive, relevant, high quality health services
  • improved individual attitudes and service culture in the health service system
