Our ‘Good access. Good business.’ guide provides practical support for local businesses to understand why accessibility is important for people with disability, responsibilities, and how good access benefits both customers and your business.

Local government has a role in encouraging and supporting active participation in community life and ensuring that its services are accessible and inclusive for people with disability.

‘Good access. Good business.’ is one way Cardinia Shire Council supports local businesses to meet several of its Access and Inclusion Disability Strategy and Action Plan outcomes, including:

• reducing barriers for people with a disability in accessing goods, services, and facilities
• promoting inclusion and participation of people with a disability in the community
• achieving tangible changes in attitudes and practices which discriminate against people with disability
• reducing barriers for persons with a disability obtaining and maintaining employment.
