O14: Critical review of design and development practices that relate to access for people with disability (universal access): Part 3 Investigation of accessibility for people with disability and NDIS - Year 1 (2019/20)

November 24, 2025

The accessibility needs of people with disability are the same as people without disability. They require barrier-free access in public places and should expect reasonable measures taken to lessen undue fatigue when transporting themselves. Without equal accessibility, people with disability are more likely to face exclusions to work and educational opportunities, social opportunities, and independence, which can negatively affect their wellbeing, dignity and quality of life. Therefore, built environments must be equally accessible by both people with disability and people without disability.
