Access Advisory Committee – Gympie Region

For Business

The Committee produced a AAC Gympie Region Disability Access Self Audit Checklist for use by businesses in the Gympie Region. It is also available free to download for any other group wishing to use it in other communities. We simply ask for acknowledgement of our work in any publications.

The best way of attracting customers to your business and fulfilling your legal responsibilities is to make your business as accessible to as wide a range of customers as possible. Where it is not possible to provide full wheelchair access in the short term, you might also consider alterative ways of providing the same service. It is also a good idea to develop a plan for how you can improve the accessibility of your business over time.

This checklist has been designed to assist you to identify areas where access to your business may be enhanced to meet the needs of customers with a range of abilities. This is not an exhaustive list of all access features, but it is a good starting point. You may with to complete the checklist once a year, develop a plan and work on items that you can improve throughout the year. Contact the Committee if you require further information.
