Accessing services and support
We offer a range of community services, inclusion opportunities and support options for people with a disability who are not eligible for the NDIS.
Accessing the community
Around our city are facilities that help to make it easier for those living with a disability.
Disability Advisory Committee
The Moonee Valley Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) provides us with a forum to consult with community members who live, work and volunteer in the local community, and seek specialist advice around disability.
The DAC is comprised of a selection of people with disabilities, their family or carers, who represent a cross section of the local community and reside in different geographic locations across Moonee Valley. Local service organisations also participate in the DAC.
Learn more about the committee on the YourSay DAC page.
Contact Council to provide feedback about accessibility in Moonee Valley.
