Community Inclusion

Shepparton Access believes in people and what they can achieve

Shepparton Access supports people to become included in the community. 
We are passionate about empowering people to make a difference to their lives.
People are encouraged to reach for their goals, fulfil their potential while having the freedom to dream.

Our Community Inclusion Program is a partnership with people, their families and carers. Together we create a self-directed approach to community participation and inclusion.

At Shepparton Access we are dedicated to innovative and flexible solutions. Planning assists people to achieve their hopes, goals and lifestyle choices.

Community Inclusion provides opportunities for learning new skills,
to achieve greater independence, to build confidence and to become empowered to participate in the community.

People may choose either Individualised or Day Services,
or a mix of both.
