Melbourne East Disability Advocacy - MEDA

09/11/2025

Last month, the MEDA community came together for our 40th Annual General Meeting. It was a great opportunity to reflect on the year, as well as to connect and celebrate on all we have achieved together.

We were delighted to recognise and honour several incredible members of our community whose dedication and spirit embody MEDA’s values:

Ali G – 10+ Years of Service Award
Will E – Life Member Award
Blake B – Above and Beyond Friend and Supporter Award
Libby H & Jodie C – Strong and Bold Citizen Advocacy Partnership Award
Pete Smith - Acknowledged and honoured for his role as MEDA's Patron for the past 15 years, now retiring

Congratulations to all our award recipients, and heartfelt thanks to every advocate, volunteer, and supporter who continues to make MEDA’s work possible.
