About Access Inc.

Fundamental to Access Inc's value system is that inclusion is a lawful basic human right.

People with disabilities have the same fundamental rights as other in the community. They can live in their own homes, go to schools of their own choice, get jobs, join organizations and become accepted citizens of their local communities.

Positive family and public attitudes are a great help in achieving these rights. Success also depends on the availability and quality of existing and planned knowledge and services.

Access Inc empowers, supports and challenges people who access and provide local knowledge and services.

Access Inc empowers, supports and challenges those who make educational, community and work policies in Victoria.
