Comprehensive Accessibility Audits with SDA Reports
An accessibility audit is a comprehensive evaluation of the physical environment and resource usability conducted by qualified assessors. It examines compliance with accessibility standards and guidelines, including the Australian Standards for Access and Mobility, Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Disability audits play a crucial role in assessing the specific requirements of individuals with disabilities. These audits consider a wide range of needs, including mobility impairments, visual or hearing impairments, intellectual disabilities, and mental health conditions. By comprehensively evaluating these unique needs, accessibility auditors provide valuable insights into the necessary accommodations and support systems required to create inclusive environments. The information gathered during these audits informs the design and implementation of accessible facilities, tailored to enhance mobility, sensory perception, comprehension, and overall well-being. By prioritising the diverse needs of individuals with disabilities, disability audits contribute to the creation of inclusive and supportive spaces.

SDA Reports: Assessing Building, Signage, Usability, and Staff Training
Accessibility audits evaluate the accessibility of a facility or accommodation for people with disabilities by considering various factors such as:
- Physical Environment: The assessment of the physical environment involves accessibility auditing, focusing on building audits that scrutinize the building’s layout, entrances, exits, corridors, and other architectural elements. The audit will determine if the accommodation is suitable for people with disabilities and if it complies with building codes and standards. The assessment will also look at the availability of ramps, handrails, and other mobility aids.
- Signage and Wayfinding: Signage is an essential part of accessibility. It helps people with disabilities navigate the facility with ease. Accessibility audits evaluate the signage and wayfinding systems to determine if they are accessible to all users. The assessment includes the location, size, and type of signs used in the facility.
- Resource Usability: The assessment of resource usability evaluates the accommodation ability to meet the needs of people with disabilities. This includes assessing the availability and use of assistive technologies, such as hearing loops, braille signage, and other devices that help people with disabilities access audits the accommodation’s facilities and services.
- Staff Training: Accessibility audits also evaluate staff training programs to determine if the facility has adequate staff training and if they have the necessary knowledge to support people with disabilities
