Joint Councils Access for All Abilities (JCAAA) has developed an online inclusive sports clubs and facilities resource, providing key access information regarding sports and recreation venues within Port Phillip and Bayside municipalities. It also highlights programs that are inclusive of people with disabilities, facilitated by the club. While the level of accessibility varies between clubs, all support the philosophy of providing access for all.
