Disability Advisory Committee 

Good Afternoon,

Greater Shepparton City Council is calling for nominations from local residents for the Greater Shepparton Disability Advisory Committee (DAC).

The committee aims to form a strong link between Council and people living with disabilities, carers, family members, advocates and service providers within the Greater Shepparton region. 

The DAC provides advice and assistance to Council on incorporating key priorities as outlined in the Universal Access and Inclusion Plan and consists of representatives from a broad range of backgrounds. There are up to nine community representative positions and up to three local industry service provider positions available on the committee, as well as a nominated Councillor. A Council officer will also provide administration support.

The committee meets bi-monthly from February to December each year.

Nominations for appointment to the committee will be received until 5.00pm Friday 18 March 2022.

Nomination forms and more information are available on Council’s website at https://greatershepparton.com.au/community/aged-disability/dac

Verbal expressions of interest can also be made by contacting Council’s Access and Inclusion Officer on (03) 5832 9700.

Council has also developed some promotional material and videos about the Disability Advisory Committee and the recruitment process that council is undertaking. The promotional material can be accessed via the following link

Also please distribute this information as widely as you throughout your networks. I am keen to recruit an strong dynamic and diverse advisory committee.
