Let’s move on to the core of Melbourne’s disability services. Imagine trying find a coffee shop in one Melbourne’s laneway but finding all the signs in another languages. Initially, disability service is like diving in tricare services.
Melbourne is home of a large number of programs and service that caters to people with disability. Choose between the koalas and therapy in botanical garden. Yes, koalas! Because, why not. What could make you more happy than cuddling up with a squabbling marsupial.
It’s not a fanciful term that is used just to sound cool. This is the real deal. You can find tailor-made programs for your individual needs. You can find programs that are tailored to your specific needs, whether it is because you live in an Indigenous community, or you proudly fly a rainbow flag.
Do not let your wheelchair hold you back from becoming a sports sensation. What about wheel chair rugby? It’s like a hybrid of rugby, bumper cars and ice hockey. It is amazing. Plus, it is possible to learn how surf from the ground. Pretty rad if you ask me.
The mental health of people has not been forgotten. Stop wasting time on boring, ineffective therapy sessions. Instead, let out your inner kid and paint whatever you’re feeling. This is like letting the inner child out with crayons. This helps with the mess that’s upstair.
Melbourne is Australia’s technology capital. Google Maps is not the best option for people who are blind. Apps help them navigate. And prosthetics? We’re referring to sci-fi equipment that gives bionic limbs and helps people become independent.
In a sea full of choices, it’s hard to find that needle. Community groups and online forums are great resources. You can find the information you need.
This is a good place to see what works, or doesn’t.
Recognize those unsung soldiers who quietly fight to ensure everyone gets a chance at a good life. Advocacy organisations work tirelessly to ensure voices and change are heard. This includes pushing policies to include everyone, and holding workshops that give people confidence and knowledge.
Melbourne’s scene for disability services may initially appear overwhelming. It is surprising how much support is available when you dig around.
You should never forget to ask or offer assistance. It’s hard to be adventurous.
Your quest will be rewarded by wearing an explorers cap.
