About Us
Yarn’n Strong is an initiative of ADA Australia, and funded under the national Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.
The ILC program runs adjacent to the NDIS, and is to foster greater inclusion of people with disability through:
- Creating connections for people with disability in the communities they live in
- Building knowledge, skills and confidence
- Improving access to community and mainstream services.
ADA Australia is a not-for-profit independent advocacy and information service, giving vulnerable people a voice through information, education and advocacy support.
