About the Organisation

Melba makes a difference by empowering people with a disability to live the life they want. For nearly 50 years we have been supporting people to dream big, be happy and do what they choose and value. At Melba we open up a world of opportunities and make things happen for people to live life – proudly, joyously, creatively, adventurously – the way they want.

We are a registered provider of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and after successfully tendering to receive services transferring from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), we now support people across Gippsland, Southern Melbourne and the Central Highlands and Wimmera regions. Today, we support over 1200 people with disability across Victoria in their homes and within the community. We have grown from a small organisation into a large one, but we have kept our focus on human rights. We continue to deliver quality service to the people who choose us as their provider.
