A Strengthening Parents Support Program

The Strengthening Parents Support Program assists parents and carers who have a child with a disability or developmental delay to connect with other families and the community. The program operates from a self-help group model and provides opportunities for parents in similar situations to meet on a regular basis for mutual support, networking opportunities, information sharing and training.

RIAC Scholarship

RIAC has implemented a Support Fund for secondary school students and post secondary aged people with a disability to assist with the costs of their study/apprenticeship. This Fund is for the allocation of up to a maximum of $5,000 per year. Mature age students are also eligible. RIAC may make a single allocation or divide the allocation between more than one applicant.

People with a disability who are eligible to apply are those whose disability may be attributed to an intellectual, psychiatric, cognitive, neurological, sensory or physical impairment or a combination of impairments.
