Criteria for Support
Belonging Matters predominantly supports people in Metropolitan Melbourne but also supports a number of people across the state of Victoria. There are no criteria for support other than the person with a disability or their family has a desire to pursue lifestyle options that are typical of other citizens i.e. personalised and uniquely tailored, inclusive and self-determined. We do not assist people to participate in segregated or congregated services or programs that are designed only for people with a disability. We work with people of all ages.
