The South Australian Social Inclusion Initiative

Under the leadership of the Social Inclusion Board, the South Australian Social Inclusion Initiative aims to assist in the creation of a society where all people feel valued, their differences are respected and their basic needs - both physical and emotional - are met.

South Australia’s cutting edge social inclusion method delivers results through developing innovative solutions to pressing social problems.

Social Inclusion is about participation; it is a method for social justice. It is about increasing opportunities for people, especially the most disadvantaged people, to engage in all aspects of community life.
