The policy framework does not indicate however the overall budget for the ILC program or the split between the five streams.

The final stream, Local area Co-ordination is a navigation tool for people to make full use of mainstream services and informal services outside the NDIS. It has a heavy focus on prevention activities, community inclusion and the development of networks. It is unlikely to have a significant overlap with the NMHSPF taxonomy however there are some components that are reflected in this stream.

It is important to understand how much funding is going into the ILC program and how it is to be split between the streams, in order to assess how much of the non IFP need will be met by this program.
