About the NDIS in Dandenong Ranges
The Dandenong Ranges are a set of low-lying mountain ranges with the peak being at 633 metres at Mount Dandenong, which is approximately 35km east of Melbourne. The area is comprised of numerous small towns dotted among the ranges and foothills. It is known for its natural beauty with luscious forests of towering trees and fern glades and is loved by many for the community feel of the towns. There is no formal boundary indicating the townships within The Dandenongs, but it is generally considered to stretch from Mount Evelyn in the North, down to Upweyto the West and Cockatoo and Gembrook in the foothills to the South East.
The traditional owners of the Dandenong Ranges are the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People.
There are 142,240 NDIS participants in Victoria as of June 2022. Throughout the main towns of the Dandenong Ranges there are projected to be approximately 2700 NDIS participants by 2023. The NDIS rollout began in this area in July 2017.
