Council is the sponsored body for this Commonwealth Department of Family and Community Services position. This assists the neighbouring municipalities of Moyne, Southern Grampians, Corangamite and Colac-Otway.

Assistance is provided in accessing the Special Needs Subsidy Scheme. This enables childcare services to employ additional caregivers where necessary and to obtain items of special equipment.

Close contact is maintained with specialist disabled children's services in Melbourne, the south west and with the Multicultural Resource Centre.
