Welcome to
Melba Support Services
Individuals with a disability leading everyday lives
Who are we?
Melba Support Services Inc is a not-for-profit community based organisation that supports people who live with a disability to connect with their chosen communities and to lead the lives of their choice.
What do we offer?
Melba provides a range of community services designed to give people with disabilities greater independence and control over their own lives. These cover:
Support to live in the community in shared supported accommodation
Provision of practical support in everyday living skills
Assistance in pursuing and accessing vocational, educational, employment and recreational goals
Respite care that provides planned breaks for carers
Assessing communications difficulties and sourcing practical solutions
How long have we been here?
Melba was established in the early 1970s by a group of parents in Melbourne’s Outer Eastern suburbs who were concerned by the lack of support for their children with disabilities in their local areas.
Where do we operate?
Melba currently provides support in the eastern and southern regions of Melbourne for people with disabilities to be part of their local communities.
How are we funded?
Partially funded by government, Melba still needs to rely on the wider community for additional financial support as well as in-kind support to remain operating at the levels expected of it.
