COMPLIANCE & INCLUSION EXPERTISE

Professional Disability Access Consulting

Comprehensive Disability Access Consulting Across South Australia

At TruePath Access Solutions, we deliver specialised disability access consulting services throughout South Australia, helping organisations, developers, and property owners create inclusive and compliant environments. Our extensive experience in the disability sector enables us to develop practical solutions that improve accessibility while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Our disability access consulting combines technical expertise with a genuine commitment to inclusion, ensuring that your projects not only meet legal requirements but truly serve the diverse needs of all community members.

Understanding Compliance Requirements

The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) establishes clear legal obligations regarding accessibility. Under this legislation, it is unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of disability across numerous areas including:

• Employment settings
• Educational institutions
• Access to goods, facilities and services
• Accommodation providers
• Land purchases and development
• Public premises and facilities

We help you navigate these complex requirements, identifying potential compliance issues and developing practical solutions to address them. We work collaboratively with your team to integrate accessibility considerations into your projects from the earliest planning stages.

Standards-Based Approach to Accessibility

Effective disability access consulting requires deep knowledge of relevant codes and standards. Our consulting services are guided by comprehensive understanding of key legislative and standards frameworks, including:

• Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards 2012 – The definitive regulations governing accessibility requirements for public buildings
• National Construction Code (NCC) – Incorporating essential accessibility provisions within the broader building code
• Australian Standards AS 1428 suite – Detailed specifications for design for access and mobility across various contexts
• AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 – Specific requirements for off-street parking facilities for people with disabilities
• Liveable Housing Design Guidelines – Best practice recommendations for creating homes that meet changing needs across lifespans

Through our expertise, we translate these technical requirements into practical solutions tailored to your specific project constraints and objectives.

Our Disability Access Consulting Services

We offer comprehensive consulting solutions to address the full spectrum of accessibility requirements:

Access Audits and Compliance Assessments

Our detailed audits identify potential compliance issues in existing buildings or proposed developments. These assessments provide a clear roadmap for addressing accessibility challenges, prioritising improvements based on risk and impact.

Development Application Reviews

We review development applications before submission to identify and address potential compliance issues early in the process, preventing costly modifications later.

DDA Compliance Reports

We prepare detailed documentation demonstrating how your project meets applicable accessibility requirements, providing evidence of due diligence and commitment to inclusion.

Performance-Based Solutions

When standard solutions aren't feasible, our disability access consulting team develops alternative approaches that achieve equivalent accessibility outcomes while addressing site-specific constraints.

Universal Design Consultancy

We provide guidance on implementing universal design principles that go beyond minimum compliance to create truly inclusive environments that benefit all users.

Expert Witness Services

Our qualified consultants can provide expert testimony in accessibility-related disputes, offering impartial assessment based on technical expertise and relevant standards.
