Start here for disability services - Department of Human Services

The Victorian Department of Human Services provides and funds services for people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and neurological disabilities.

A person with a disability can access general services, including:

• community health
• early childhood and education services
• sport and recreation
• maternal and child health services.

The Department also funds specialist disability services for people with a disability, and their families, to help the person with a disability participate in the community and reach their full potential.

You can request disability supports from the department or a community service organisation if:

• you have a disability
• the disability impacts on your mobility, communication, self-care or self-management
• your support request meets specific requirements related to the service you are seeking.
