MACA’s national website is LIVE!
MACA is the first national expert body dedicated to advocating for the rights of children with disabilities and medical conditions to safe and accessible transport.
MACA addresses the gaps in Australian policy, research, and practice impacting on the transport of children with disabilities and medical conditions.
For the first time ever in Australia, allied health professionals, families and organisations can now access a ‘one stop’ evidence-informed resource for the safe transport of children with disabilities and medical conditions in motor vehicles.
Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, macahub.org has been informed by nearly two years of research, advocacy, policy development and, importantly – the lived experience of families.
Allied health professionals, families and organisations will find evidence-based and easily accessible information to help them confidently make decisions about children’s vehicle transport requirements.
