About Us

Equal Access is a Disability Access Consultants practice in Australia specialising in Universal Design and compliance of the built environment. Our key personnel are accredited with the Association of Consultants in Access Australia Inc (ACAA) and provide a specialist consulting service throughout Australia and internationally to enhance the built environment and provide “Equal Access” for community members with a disability.

The Disability Discrimination Act, the Building Code of Australia & Australian Standards are highly complex and subject to constant change. Litigation over property access and compliance is increasing at an astounding rate. Property and business owners are subject to substantial and often unexpected liability.

Equal Access can assist in all areas of built environment access as a DDA Consultant and would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
