People with Disabilities

Council also coordinates a range of support, social and recreational activities for people with disabilities. Services are tailored to meet the individual needs of residents. They aim to enhance health and well being, promote quality of life, and support the independence of residents in Port Phillip.

Disability Policy

The first ever Disability Policy (Attachment 1: Background Information) was released by Council in December 2011. The policy will help ensure people living with disability are supported to experience life without barriers.

The Policy provides a framework to guide Council decision making and service delivery based on four key areas; accessible communities, participation, community attitudes and policies and practice. More specifically, it will be used to provide a platform for opportunities and initiatives to support people living with disability.
