Our Disability Reference Committee (DRC) advises on issues around access and inclusion for people with a disability. The committee is an important link between Council, people with a disability and the wider community.
Disability Reference Committee
What does the DRC do?
The DRC includes people with disabilities, carers, community representatives and disability service providers. They help people with disabilities by:
- representing their interests, including those of carers and family members,
- advising on issues and barriers affecting them and their carers who live, work or study in Glen Eira,
- responding to relevant policies, reports, research and plans,
- monitoring the implementation strategy of Council’s Community Wellbeing Plan 2021–2025.
The DRC meets every second month at the Glen Eira Town Hall.
