About <strong>Interchange</strong><br />

<strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria is a not-for-profit, community based organisation that provides various<br />

services to its member agencies.<br />

The agencies in turn provide support through a wide range of programs to families who have a<br />

child or young person with a disability. The children and young people have a range of physical,<br />

intellectual or sensory disabilities.<br />

These programs provide parents with the opportunity to have a break from their role as carers<br />

and give children the chance to have fun and make new friends away from home.<br />

Victoria's first <strong>Interchange</strong> agency started in 1980 by parents of children with disabilities and<br />

supporters. There are now six stand alone <strong>Interchange</strong> agencies and seven auspice <strong>Interchange</strong><br />

programs throughout Victoria and three <strong>Interchange</strong> Licensee programs interstate.<br />

<strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria was created in response to the <strong>Interchange</strong> agencies requiring a central body<br />

to provide vital services. <strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria provides the following services:<br />

Marketing and Promotions<br />

Training & Development<br />

Support and Resourcing<br />

Leadership<br />

The main goal of <strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria is to<br />

support its members in the delivery of respite<br />

care services by promoting their program<br />

and the need for volunteers .<br />

<strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria is accountable to a Board of<br />

Management and receives recurring funding from the<br />

Ministry of Health - Home and Community Care program.<br />

<strong>Interchange</strong> Victoria also relies on government and<br />

philanthropic grants, partners, sponsors, donors and<br />

supporters to deliver services to it’s member programs.<br />
