Overcoming Barriers to Service Accessibility
Mainstream Capacity Building
St Jude’s is proud to deliver the Mainstream Capacity Building program, supported by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Social Services. This innovative initiative aims to reshape the delivery of mainstream services to be more inclusive and accessible for people with disability and psychosocial needs in the remote Southwest of Western Australia.
Empowering individuals through Mainstream Capacity Building
The MCB program focuses on removing barriers to service accessibility, building individual capacity, and strengthening connections between local services. By addressing challenges unique to remote areas, the project supports individuals through all stages of transition, enabling them to access essential services, including those under the NDIS. Guided by person-centered planning, the program also explores alternative service delivery methods, such as digital platforms, to ensure long-term, sustainable solutions.
