Tribune’s note

NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister announced $1.25 million for New Horizons Tasmania to deliver the Live Well project, a three-stream program covering skills development, family capacity building, and leadership pathways for people with disability and their families and carers [TA-260417-ndis-3ab76cf9b271]. The announcement sits within the first phase of the reformed Information, Linkages and Capacity Building Program, through which 38 organisations are sharing $50 million under the Individual and Family Capacity Building stream and a further 24 organisations share $40 million under the Information, Advice and Referral stream [TA-260417-ndis-3ab76cf9b271].

The scale of the phase-one rollout — 62 organisations and $90 million in total — signals the government's intent to use the ILC Program as a primary vehicle for expanding community-level disability support infrastructure nationally. The minister framed the Tasmania announcement explicitly within a longer reform agenda, with the government indicating it is pursuing improved consistency, quality, and national coverage while also considering further structural changes to the ILC Program beyond this initial phase.
