Independent Living Centre NSW is a leading information, education, and advisory centre for Assistive Technology and the Built Environment. We are located in Westpoint Blacktown, NSW Australia and are a not-for-profit, community based organisation and Public Benevolent institution registered as a charity in New South Wales.
Our purpose is to inform people’s choices of assistive technology by providing impartial advice and information.
Our Board of Directors are responsible for providing ILC NSW with governance, strategic leadership and direction. Our Strategic Plan embodies this direction and is endorsed by the board at the beginning of each new planning cycle.
Each planning cycle covers a three-year period with the current plan covering the period from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2012.
