All areas of a building are required to be accessible to people with disabilities. However, the Building Code of Australia and the Disability Access to Premises Standards provide an exemption in areas that may be inappropriate for people with disabilities.
This website aims to provide building practitioners, project managers, architects and clients with a point of reference to seek determinations regarding the extent of accessibility requirements in all projects.
While most buildings will need to be fully accessible to all people, some workplaces may not be suitable. If you feel you have a claim for an exemption, please complete the form below, and we will make this determination.
