We work with people with disability in Wollongong to improve our city. This includes things like:
- Making buildings easier to get into
- Making it easier for people to use our parks, beaches and playgrounds
- Making Council information easier to understand
- Helping people with disabilities to get jobs
- Helping people with disabilities attend events and community activities.
We also try to raise awareness about important issues for people living with disability.

People who have chronic illness or disability need extra help in an emergency.
Prepare NSW has a Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (PCEP) tool for community health and disability providers. This can be used to support those with chronic illness or disability to prepare, respond and recover from emergencies.
