Accessible Business

In preparation for the launch of our Accessible Business Grant, our Disability Advisory Committee has helped develop a video and fact sheets to show local businesses why access is important and what they can do to make their business more accessible.  

Local businesses can receive up to $5000 to make improvements or enhancements which increase the accessibility of their business for people with a disability. Our handy fact sheets are grouped into no-cost, low-cost and investment checklists, so businesses can look to the low-cost and investment items for ideas about what to apply for.

The types of proposals we can fund include:

• Completing an Access Appraisal of your business or organisation to help improve physical access.
• Developing communication options for people with complex needs including those whose first language is not English.
• Providing access and inclusion awareness training to staff or members.
• Providing information in different formats (e.g. large print, audio or electronic formats) to provide access for all.

The Accessible Business Improvement Grant opens on Monday 7 February 2022.
