Accessible spaces for your community

As occupational therapists AND access consultants we have a unique insight into the world of how people with varying access needs interact with the built environment. By using this knowledge we can audit or appraise buildings, streetscapes, parking bays, reserves, recreational facilities, shopping precincts and many other spaces in order to determine what access barriers may exist for a person with a disability, and for people of varying abilities.

By involving an Optimal Access consultant to review your building plans before building commences, we can help ensure that your building is compliant with accessibility legislation and identify what changes need to be made to achieve compliance, without it becoming a costly retrofit once the build is completed.
