Disability Access and Inclusion

Disability Access and Inclusion Advocacy and Planning

Through the Disability Action Plan, MetroAccess, and All Abilities Consultative Committee, we are progressively working to improve access, equality and inclusion for people with a disability.

Accessible Business

People with disabilities often find they are unable to visit cafes and restaurants, shops and businesses due to a lack of accessibility. We want to change this and we’re offering some funding to help.

Accessible Recreation

View information on accessible reaction, beach access, beach matting, accessible beach wheelchair hire, Liberty Swing locations on the Mornington Peninsula, Sailability, and how to plan an inclusive and accessible event for everyone.

Disabled Parking Permit

Learn about the Accessible Parking Permit Scheme for people with a disability, learn how individuals and organisations can apply for a permit, permit renewals, cancellations and more.

Scooters & Recharge Scheme

The Recharge Scheme is an initiative which invites businesses to provide a power point for people to recharge the batteries of their electric wheelchair or scooter.

Township Mobility Maps

The Shire is committed to enhancing the safe participation and health and wellbeing of people who use motorised scooters and other motorised mobility devices. Council has developed a range of resources to assist users of these mobility devices to maximise their independence including the Township Mobility Maps.

Accessible Transport & Parking

View information on accessible transport opportunities on the Mornington Peninsula.

Changing Places Toilets

Changing Places toilets are designed for people with a disability who have high support needs, including requiring the assistance of a hoist and/or height adjustable table.

Master Locksmiths Access Key – MLAK

The Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK) is a system designed to give people with disabilities 24 hour access to a network of public facilities across Australia.

Disability Access and Inclusion Support Services

The Shire provides a range of services designed to support, frail, older people and people with a disability and their carers, including the Police Point Respite Program.

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program

Living with a hidden disability or condition can make daily life extremely difficult. But for others, it can be hard to understand the challenges that people with hidden disability or condition face.

Access Keys

Access Keys will be available for would-be visitors to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and Rosebud Library. These are the first of many Access Keys the Shire plans to roll out in the next 12-24 months to make visiting our facilities more accessible and inclusive.
