The Maroondah Disability Action Group also known as the Disability Action Group Eastern Region, aims to provide a voice for people with disabilities across Maroondah and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
The group includes people with disabilities who desire to improve the accessibility of Maroondah and the outer east. Specific aims include:
- To provide systemic advocacy to influence policies at a local, state or federal level;
- To campaign for accessible transport improvements;
- To cooperate with other like minded groups at a local and state level, and
- To push for greater, accessible and inclusive health services.
The Maroondah Disability Action Group meets at 10 am on the second Monday of each month at the Ringwood Church of Christ at 13 Bedford Road in Ringwood.
The venue is fully accessible and in close proximity to Ringwood Station and bus routes 367 (Ringwood to Croydon via East Ringwood) and 679 (Chirnside Park Shopping Centre to Ringwood via Mount Evelyn, Montrose and Canterbury Road).
