Accessible Stirling: a guide for businesses
Good access is good business. One in five Australians has a disability.
Due to an ageing population, it is predicted that within 15 years this will increase to one in four people. A business that is accessible and inclusive increases your customer base. It benefits people with disabilities, seniors, parents with prams, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and your employees.
Can your business afford to exclude such a significant percentage of the consumer market? Below are some examples of ways that you can implement small improvements to help create an accessible business and experience the benefits.
