Access Keys

Access Keys are customised accessibility guides that provide convenient information about accessing venues, events and programs.

They are universally designed and suitable for all people, regardless of ability.

    Access Keys help users understand what to expect from a specific experience before attending, help to determine the suitability of an experience, help to alleviate anxiety about visiting new places, support the interpretation of circumstances and process new concepts whilst in attendance and are also a great tool for fostering independence.

        • Instructions on getting to a chosen venue or event
