The Good Servant (TGS) was established as a disability service provider in Melbourne for disabled people. Its aim was to ensure that disabled people achieved Independent Living, choice and control over their lives and full participation in society as equal citizens.

​

We are a campaigning, national representative organisation that promotes the philosophy of independent living and to build an inclusive society. Central to the way we work is to ensure that policy decisions that impact on the lives of disabled people have to be directly influenced by those whose lives are directly affected.

Our Vision

Our vision is where disabled persons have freedom, choice and control over all aspects of their lives and can fully participate in an inclusive society as equals.

​

Mission

We are working collectively to create an independent living movement in Melbourne. We are working towards the removal of societal barriers that prevent active equal participation of disabled people, challenging the denial of people’s rights and the promotion of the philosophy of independent living.

Core Values

Our core values are underpinned by the philosophy of The Good Servant and all activities are aimed towards promoting:

• Independence

• Options

• Rights
