The purpose of the Disability Advisory Committee is to provide advice, information, and recommendations (where appropriate) to Council on matters impacting the lived experience of people with a disability.  

The objectives of the committee are:

• Raising systemic, structural, cultural and social barriers affecting the lives and opportunities available to people with a disability, their families and carers.
• When required, working in partnership with Council officers to identify and recommend potential solutions to presenting issues and barriers.  
• Providing feedback to Council in relation to Council activities, policies, plans and infrastructure.
• Increase the profile of people with a disability in the community and Council.  
• Providing input into the development and/or implementation of the Whitehorse Disability Action Plan.

The committee meets 4 times per year at the Civic Centre and community members join for a 4-year term.
