Description:

The Australian Government is inviting applications via an open competitive process to apply for grant funding under the National Disability Conference Initiative (NDCI) 2024–25. The NDCI is delivered as part of the activities supporting Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031 and assists in delivering improved outcomes for people with disability and their carers.

This grant opportunity provides grants to conference organisers to assist people with disability to participate in nationally-focused, disability-related conferences held in Australia. Grants will support eligible conference organisers to provide accessibility measures that will maximise the inclusion and participation of people with disability at their conference. This in turn supports the vision of Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031.

  • not be receiving (or applying for) funding from another government source for the same activity and purpose that you are requesting NDCI funding for (that is, to provide accessibility measures that will maximise the inclusion and participation of people with disability at their conference)
