Disability Accessibility Challenges in Melbourne is a big challenge for people with disabilities.

Disability stereotypes are harmful, and can lead to exclusion from society, loneliness, and employment barriers. Discrimination can be perpetuated by discrimination at the work place, in schools or homes.

Organizations that advocate for inclusion and equal rights for disabled people by amplifying their voices, and advocating in their behalf, can create positive social changes.
Melbourne provides many opportunities for people with disability to be included. Arts, sport and recreation, employment, inclusive initiatives, and other sectors provide people with disabilities an opportunity to showcase their talents, create connections, and foster a sense of belonging.
