What is the Disability Access and Inclusion Committee?

The Disability Access and Inclusion Committee (DAIC or the Committee) provides advice to Frankston City Council (Council) on issues relating to access and inclusion for people with disabilities, families and carers of people with disabilities, living, working in or visiting Frankston City.  

Council established its first Disability Advisory Committee in 1988, and many people with various interests and skills have worked together since then to advise Council to improve access and inclusion in Frankston City.

The committee comprises 8 community members with lived experience of disability and 4 representatives from local disability services. A Councillor representative and Council Officers also attend meetings. 

The DAIC meet 8 times per year, with additional, optional opportunities offered to members, such as:

  • personal development training
  • feedback surveys
  • site visits and participation in forums

The role of the Committee is:

a) To provide advocacy and advice on issues, projects and plans to enhance the access, participation and inclusion of people with a disability in Frankston City; and

b) To support Council in achieving the goals outlined in the Disability Action Plan 2021-2025.
