Expanding Inclusive Support for Victorians with Disabilities

THEY Inclusion Services has long been at the heart of disability support in Victoria, delivering person-centred programs that empower individuals and build strong community connections.

With a proud history of creating inclusive opportunities, The Y continues to expand its reach across Melbourne and regional areas, offering experiences that make a lasting difference.

Y Camp Journeys is one of The Y’s most celebrated programs—Respite Camps specially designed for people with a disability. These camps offer participants the chance to step beyond daily routines, explore new adventures, and build independence in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.

From cooking and self-care to team challenges and social games, every activity is designed to develop life skills, boost confidence, and create meaningful friendships, ensuring every participant feels a genuine sense of belonging.

Held at various campsites across Victoria, the camps also provide much-needed respite for families, while delivering inclusive experiences that encourage personal growth and development.

With support ratios tailored to individual needs—from 1:1 to 1:3—participants are empowered to try new activities, overcome challenges, and work towards their personal goals.

Beyond camps, The Y offers comprehensive Support Coordination services, helping participants make the most of their disability support plans by providing expert advice, guidance, and personalised support.

Our Support Coordinators work alongside participants to understand their goals, connect them with the right services, and build the skills they need to manage their supports independently over time.

Whether through Respite Camps, or Disability Support, the Y’s mission remains clear: to create inclusive environments where individuals with disabilities can thrive. With 30 years of experience, The Y Inclusion Services continues to be a trusted partner for families seeking meaningful, empowering support.​
