About Us
TADVIC's volunteers make custom equipment for people with a disability throughout Victoria. Our service helps people with disabilities, for whom no commercially available solution meets their needs. Founded in 1975 and incorporated in 1977, it operates throughout the state of Victoria.
In general occupational therapists coordinate projects with support from technical volunteers as required. Administration staff support the work of metropolitan and rural volunteers and staff. The organisation is funded by a grant from the Department of Human Services, Victoria and donations. In recent years, in response to community demand, TADVIC has established 10 branches in rural Victoria.
TADVIC has around 200 volunteers throughout Victoria. In 2007 TADVIC completed over 620 projects across the state.
There is no charge for the TADVIC service. Clients are asked to reimburse the volunteer for any cos of materials and travelling expenses incurred.
