Accessible and inclusive Eurobodalla

Council is working to improve access and inclusion for residents and visitors. A good measure of inclusion is when residents and visitors are able to take part in community and civic life.

Council sets out how we aim to achieve this in our disability inclusion action plan.

In Australia, one in five people have a form of disability. Community members with a disability can face barriers accessing services, activities and facilities. People may also have language and attitudinal barriers in finding more information on accessibility and how to access services. Resources to help improve accessibility and inclusion are listed on this page.
