The expectation of accessibility is now greater than ever, whether it is physical access to the built environment, customer service access, or access to information.
The City of Stirling is offering businesses a free informal walkthrough by friendly volunteers with personal experience of disability to provide your business with confidential recommendations for access improvements.
Walkthroughs are a proactive starting point for businesses to identify issues for consideration and develop a practical approach to improving access for everyone, including staff, customers, and visitors.
Walkthroughs may take one to two hours depending on the size of your business and can be arranged Mondays to Thursdays between 10.00am and 2.00pm, as mutually convenient. Following the walkthrough, a report will be developed and usually forwarded to your business within three weeks.
All information remains confidential, and there is no requirement to implement the advised recommendations.
Please note that an 'access walkthrough' does not address access for every element within a building. It is not intended to take the place of a formal access audit, which inspects and assesses to determine compliance with relevant access legislation, codes, and standards. Rather, a 'walkthrough' offers advice based on volunteers’ personal experience of disability.
To book an access walkthrough of your business, please email accessandinclusion@stirling.wa.gov.au or, for further information, please contact the Customer Service Team at (08) 9205 8555.
Liability disclaimer:
The City of Stirling shall in no event be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever arising out of the business walkthrough, the use of information provided during the walkthrough, or in the walkthrough report. The walkthrough report is not intended as a substitute for professional advice.
