The Melville Age Friendly Accessible Business (MAFAB) Network is a City of Melville initiative working with local businesses to implement age-friendly and accessible initiatives to support the older population, including those living with dementia and people with disabilities, a demographic who make up a significant part of the Melville community. The network was created to support businesses to meet the needs of this important group and is part of a wider strategy to ensure Melville is an accessible, inclusive and age-friendly city.
MAFAB provides opportunities for local business to share and showcase some of their age friendly and accessible innovations, training for staff, receive regular communications on MAFAB and Accessible Inclusive information about up to date research and attend and participate in networking events.
