Mission Statement 2008

Beyond Disability is a non-profit team of local volunteers to help provide interactive communication, for the housebound mobility disabled and wheelchair school children from low income families. Beyond Disability started in 1996 and has contributed over 80,000 volunteer hours to 2007/8. We make a difference by helping inhome.

We aim to assist wheelchair school children ( Wheelie Kids programme) and the housebound mobility disabled (through "Housebound & Elderly Citizens Online") and their carers to have access to the Internet so they can be better informed about advocacy, home help and in house care, professional services, living skills, support groups, chat groups, online education and leisure.

"Internet Empowerment" will be a bridge for participants to a better perspective of community. Beyond Disability Internet program will facilitate community participation and self help education by increasing knowledge and access to resources.

Beyond Disability is collaborating with the ParaQuad Victoria and GreenPc. Please support these organisations whenever you can.
