Only 1.25% of Aussie beaches are accessible and with your support we can change that.

💙 Donate today and your support will open the beach to everyone.

All donations are tax deductible. 

Let’s make every beach an accessible beach!

Having accessible beach wheelchair storage:
• Enables independence: by allowing people to access the beach whenever THEY want to rather than only at designated times and days
• Fosters true inclusion
• Shows people with disabilities they are VALUED
