Aged and Disability’s statement of commitment to inclusive service delivery
Moonee Valley Aged and Disability is committed to the provision of services in a fair, equitable and inclusive manner to all eligible residents within the municipality.
In doing so we recognise and acknowledge the diverse Moonee Valley community and the range of needs and characteristics within our community, particularly where one or more of these may exist for an individual and/ or their Carer. These characteristics may include (but not be limited to) cultural diversity, sexual orientation and gender identity, age, health, socio-economic status, disability, faith and spirituality, and those of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background, and we consider these aspects in relation to service delivery and service planning.
Rainbow Tick
Moonee Valley City Council’s Aged and Disability Services is accredited under the Rainbow Tick and is committed to providing safe and inclusive services to residents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI).

Age-Friendly Cities and Communities
In Victoria, people are living longer. Help us create a community that can respond to this social change and support one another as we age.
We are proud to be a member of the World Health Organisation’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities for the work that we do.
Older people deserve to be treated with respect and have their rights upheld. We listen to older people and design our programs in line with the World Health Organisation’s Age-Friendly cities framework to promote health, diversity, inclusion and cohesion for all ages and capacities.
