News>Cardinia Community ACCESS Directory now available online
| Media release: 5 August 2009 | |
Accessing programs, services and community opportunities has never been easier in Cardinia Shire Council with the introduction of Council’s Community ACCESS Directory online.
Cardinia’s Community ACCESS Directory contains information provided by more than 150 key agencies that provide services and opportunities for people with disabilities, their families and carers.
The ACCESS Directory was developed by the Cardinia Disability Advisory Committee and aims to raise awareness of the supports and options available including:
| |
 | Recreation and leisure | | Employment | | Education and training | | Respite | | Health and human services | | Advocacy and much more
|

| Cr Graeme Legge launched the original ACCESS publications and said Cardinia Shire Council was committed to building accessible, inclusive communities where people of all abilities can participate fully in daily and community life.
“By making the ACCESS Directory available online, Cardinia Shire Council is going one step further in providing an initiative for people with disabilities in our community.
“The ACCESS Directory online adds to a suite of other print and web information available from the Cardinia Disability Advisory Committee and cements their commitment to keep in touch with community needs and aspirations.
“The directory reflects the effort and knowledge of the committee together with Cardinia Shire Council in representing the needs of people with disabilities,” Cr Legge said.
To access the directory visit the Access, Disability and Inclusion page.
A hard copy of the directory can also be obtained from Council offices in Henty Way Pakenham or contact Cardinia Shire Council on 1300 787 624.
