There are approximately 35,000 children and young people in Victoria with a moderate to severe disability. Parents and siblings of the child with a disability often experience considerable stress responding to the additional needs of the child at the same time endeavouring to try to maintain relationships and respond to other stresses often experienced within families.
Services operate from a family-centred approach building upon strengths within the family and involving the community wherever possible.
MacKillop Disability Services (Metro) and Bayview Disability Services provide a range of services to assist families caring for children and young people with moderate to severe disabilities by being responsive, flexible, innovative and family centred.
