Latrobe Valley | New Wave Gippsland

Latrobe Valley group

Listen to this page

New Wave Latrobe Valley is a self advocacy group run by and for people with intellectual disability and/or acquired brain injuries.

New Wave Gippsland started in the Latrobe Valley in 2009. We want to give people with disabilities a voice in their lives, to learn and know their rights, make their own choices and learn how to advocate for themselves and others in their community in a fun and accessible way.

I joined New Wave Advocacy because it helps people with disabilities have the same rights and choices as anyone else in the community.

David Walker

An example of New Wave Latrobe Valley’s advocacy in the community includes:

Lobbying road crossing on Commercial Road
Speaking to V-line about accessibility on public transport
Chatting with local councils and political representatives on issues the disability community face.
