ACT Community Inclusion Board
Between 2004 and 2009, the ACT Government funded a program of research and community engagement conducted under the banner of the Community Inclusion Board.
Community inclusion refers to both promoting social cohesion and addressing disadvantage. The term social inclusion is sometimes used interchangeably with community inclusion.
The Community Inclusion Board also produced two end-of-term reports summarising their activities and advice to the ACT Government.
