About Melville Age Friendly Accessible Business Network 

The Melville Age Friendly Accessible Business (MAFAB) Network was created to support local businesses to implement age-friendly and accessible initiatives to support older people and people living with disability, who make up a significant part of our community. It is an action from our Age Friendly Melville Plan 2020-2026 and helps us achieve an age-friendly world.
