Victorian Bariatric Interest Group - Public Information

VicBIG is committed to implement that all bariatric/obese people are treated with respect and dignity.

VicBIG wants to remind you that 'THE BEST FIT' makes the difference!

Making a difference in someone's life could be as simple as finding a pair of shoes to fit or a comfortable chair to sit in.

We intend to source providers of larger products that are not easily available or found and these products will range from:

shoes
clothes
furniture
scales

It is our intention to source providers of services that cater for the larger person and these services will include:

transport
dentists
walking groups
funeral services

If you are a larger person and have used or know of a service catering for the larger population please let us know by contacting Janet. These services are often difficult to source and it would be helpful others who may not know.
