The disability standards

The disability standards come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

They aim to make public services more accessible for people with disability.

When something is accessible, everyone can use it.

This might be:

• a place or a building
• transport
• a service
• information
• a website.

This includes making sure:

• public transport is affordable
• buildings are accessible for people with disability
• education is accessible for people with intellectual disability.

The standards need to be followed by:

• businesses
• government organisations
• schools
• workplaces.
