Two of the strategies approved by Cabinet as part of the Western Australian Inclusion and Integration Action Plan to address issues of marginalisation, alienation and social exclusion were an Inclusion and Integration Grants Program (IIGP) and Community Relations Integration Officer (CRIO) Program. Each provided one-off funding to not-for-profit community based organisations to undertake projects to achieve program objectives.

Recipients of the CRIO grants employed a Community Relations Integration Officer to raise awareness of and facilitate access to services and programs for members of new and emerging communities.

The IIGP funding allowed community based and non-government organisations to undertake programs designed to build community capacity, and promote integration and active participation by all members of Western Australian’s diverse community.

 A final evaluation report for each of these programs is now available for download.
