The City of Marion is committed to playing its part in creating a welcoming and accessible community for all.

Council supports people with disability (and people with impairment or support needs that they may not call disability) through its programs, services, partnerships and facilities design including:

• Hendrie Street Reserve Inclusive Playground
• Accessible toilet facilities at council community centres and a Changing Places facility at Glenthorne National Park
• Community Centre programs
• Inclusive sport and recreation opportunities
• Partnerships that support life skills for people with disability including Summit Café at Glandore which teaches food service skills
• Commonwealth Home Support Service (CHSP) for older adults
• Grants supporting community organisations and groups to improve access and inclusion
• Inclusive volunteering roles adjusted where beneficial to encourage success, autonomy and purpose
• Friendly, helpful and welcoming customer service at our administration centres and venues

By removing barriers to inclusion, Council aims to create a city built on fairness and respect and is safe and welcoming for everyone.

Planning, Policy and Lived Experience voice

Council listens to people with a lived experience of disability and keeps informed of relevant laws and standards that ensure we are meeting community expectations. Council strives to incorporate these perspectives into our workplace culture and in the work we do guided by:

• Disability Access and Inclusion Network (DAN)  
  The City of Marion works in partnership with City of Holdfast Bay and City of Mitcham to co-facilitate the DAN. This group “advocates for access and inclusion that goes beyond compliance of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and for the rights of people with disability. We share our knowledge and experiences to build understanding and form positive relationships with our Councils and communities.”
• Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
• Diversity Access and Inclusion Policy
• Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging Plan (DEIB) 
  An internal plan to make our workforce and workplace welcoming, inclusive and accessible.
