Good Access is Good Business
Our Good Access is Good Business program supports city businesses in meeting the legal and community expectations that all people have fair access to goods, services and opportunities.
Our series of Customer Access Checklists can help you to meet key access requirements, and are available for download on this page.
A report by Monash University identified that making your business more accessible has the potential to generate more revenue.
Accessibility is broader than structural changes such as ramps and wider aisles, it encompasses a range of things from training your staff on how to accommodate the needs of all people, the font you choose for your menus and website, how you arrange your product and where you place your signage.
