The Rotary Club of Keilor, along with other Rotary clubs across Melbourne's west, is giving service providers access to used disability equipment to be passed on to clients in need.

The equipment has been donated to Rotary by organisations and individuals who no longer need it. Items include walkers, shower chairs, mechanical slings, adjustable beds and non-motorised wheelchairs.

Aids are checked and cleaned before being handed out.

Keilor club president Norm Draper said there was a desperate need for more disability equipment for residents across Brimbank and Moonee Valley.

"We have met with service providers and they tell us clients struggle to get access to the equipment they need," Mr Draper said.

"We'd traditionally send the equipment overseas, but we've seen a real need for it at the local level. Our focus is on people who slip through the cracks."

Mr Draper said people who needed equipment should speak to their GP or disability service provider.

"The placement of the equipment must be endorsed and requested by a health, allied health, aged care or disability service provider. We also urge anyone who has equipment left over from a loved one who has died to donate it to us."

The club has already supplied equipment to two Department of Human Services disability support units and Scope's disability respite house in Preston.

Scope regional manager Craig Andonovski said the organisation was right behind the initiative.

"There is often a need for equipment for people with a disability, in both the Brimbank and wider Victorian areas."
