GRANTS FOR DISABILITY SUPPORT SECTOR

I urge organisations working in the disability support sector in Barwon to consider applying for new Business Acceleration grants being offered by the NSW Government. The new $19 million Disability Sector Scale-Up (DSSU) program will help NSW businesses prepare for and make the most of the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The NDIS has the potential to double the size of the disability support sector in NSW from around $3.4 billion to $6.8 billion over the next two years. This creates huge and exciting opportunities for businesses and other organisations working in Barwon’s disability sector to scale-up and expand their offering. Also on offer is the Business Acceleration grants up to a maximum of $2 million to assist businesses scale-up and bring innovative and effective solutions to our disability support sector in time for the rollout of the NDIS. Applications for the first small, medium and large Business Acceleration grants are now open, and businesses, non-government organisations, peak bodies and consortiums are all able to apply through www.tenders.nsw.gov.au. This includes organisations already operating under the NDIS as well as others in adjacent sectors that want to expand into the disability support service market.
