Service Spotlight: Accessibility Consulting Services

As one of Australia’s leading access consultant firms, we provide expert advice and consultation on all areas of building accessibility. We work closely with architects, designers, builders and government agencies to ensure accessibility and universal design play a role at every building stage, from masterplan reviews to performance solutions and accessibility audits. We specialise in Special Disability Accommodation (SDA) and LHA projects. Our expert services and bespoke solutions are designed to meet the accessibility needs of every workplace, community or event – we’re focused on achieving the best inclusion outcomes for users of all abilities.

Our team was granted the opportunity to audit Turrella Station to assess which areas were meeting Australian Standards for accessibility and where improvements needed to be made.
