Welcome

The Ocean Grove DSA is all about putting Smiles on Dials ! Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience for all people with any disability to experience the rush of riding a wave.

We have world class beach facilities that help make your experience as inclusive as possible. This includes –

• Special needs changing/amenities
• Wheelchair ramp access from the carpark all the way to the sand
• Specialised Beach Wheelchairs (to suit adults and children)

Our Specialised Beach Wheelchairs are available for use along the Bellarine and Surf coast free of charge by the community at any time by arrangement. This enables a person with special needs to experience the beach at any time with family and friends all year round.

Please email dsaogsmiles@gmail.com to get further event information, register your interest as a volunteer or if you would like to sponsor our branch in some way.

Recent Event / Hands on Day

Summer 2015

With 100+ participants and over 200 volunteers, a whole lot of cold and wind, everyone braved the challenging conditions and still had a fantastic time surfing. There were plenty of smiles on dials from participants, carers and volunteers. Ocean Grove Rotary Cooked over 600 sausages at the two events and we used more than 3 litres of sauce ! At the end of the day we all had an awesome time, and are all looking forward to a fantastic (and warmer) 2016 season. Can’t wait to see you there !
