What is Access?

Accessible environments for everyone

AT Australia Access is a consultancy service of the Assistive Technology Australia. Our Access consultants audit buildings, conceptual designs, and architectural drawings to ascertain compliance with legislation for access for people with disabilities.

We provide ongoing advice throughout the design and construction phases to ensure both design and legislative requirements are met. We also produce Access audit reports detailing the barriers to access and solutions to overcome these barriers.

Who is Access For?

Audits and Advice

The Access Consultancy Service assists owners; managers and developers of buildings, facilities and the wider community to identify the level of accessibility of existing or proposed premises and facilities. We provide comprehensive access audits and advice to anyone in the industry who needs to meet the requirements of the Building Code of Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act and other legislation.

Some of our past projects have had us working with major sporting venues, high-rise buildings, large-scale residential developments, open spaces, aged care and childcare facilities, and entertainment venues.

We also provide a free telephone information service about your obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act, the Building Code of Australia, local government regulations and state planning policies that cover accessibility and adaptability.
