Disability Access and Inclusion

Accessible Community

Disability Access and Inclusion

The Town of Mosman Park is committed to ensuring that the community is an accessible and inclusive community for people with disabilities, their families and carers.

The Town of Mosman Park interprets an accessible and inclusive community as one in which people with a disability can access and are welcomed to participate in all Local Government functions, facilities and services (both in-house and contracted) in the same manner and with the same rights and responsibilities as other members of the community.
