MADEC is proud to announce the launch of a new dual wheelchair-accessible community van, thanks to the generous support of Macrossan & Amiet and the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
Introducing the Community Van for Enhanced Accessibility
The new van is a significant step toward improving transport accessibility for people with disabilities in the Mackay region. As part of MADEC’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, the vehicle will be made available to other local not-for-profit organisations who support individuals with disabilities.
“This van represents more than just a mode of transport – it’s about freedom, participation, and opportunity,” said Jasmine Lowry, CEO of MADEC. “By sharing this resource with other community organisations, we’re helping to remove barriers and open up new possibilities for those we all support.”
The Importance of the Community Van in Supporting Local Needs
The van is equipped to accommodate two wheelchairs and several additional passengers, offering a safe and comfortable way to travel for:
- Day trips and community outings
- Medical or personal appointments
- Short holidays or overnight adventures
Usage costs will be discussed on a case-by-case basis to ensure affordability and accessibility for all organisations.
MADEC invites not-for-profit groups across Mackay to reach out to discuss how the van might support their service delivery.
