we're inviting your local community to get involved!
A total of twenty local government authorities (LGAs) or peak bodies will take part in this exciting community capacity

About Inclusion Solutions
Launched in 2016, Inclusion Solutions is a not-for-profit organisation. We work to facilitate, educate and
influence individuals, organisations and communities on the benefits of social inclusion. We work to
identify opportunities that connect people at risk of social exclusion and isolation within their community.
We work with local governments, sporting clubs, community groups, state sporting organisations and
businesses of all sizes to develop strategies and initiatives to achieve inclusive outcomes. We achieve
this by providing personalised training, mentoring and consultancy services.
As an organisation, it is our belief that all people should have the opportunity to live a rewarding life and
participate in a welcoming community. We want everyone to feel welcome, have choice and control,
share ordinary places and feel a sense of belonging within their community.
