What is a Disability Inclusion Strategy Check?
DISC is your organisations roadmap for action.
Our Lived Experience Consultants conduct an access and inclusion review of your identified priority areas. We then support your organisation through the development of practical steps and advice to help remove barriers to access and inclusion for everyone. This means improved inclusion, and better business outcomes.
Real Access Experience Walkthrough
Led by our team of consultants with diverse lived experience of disability, we assess your premises, event, or environment via a walkthrough to evaluate accessibility and inclusion. We identify barriers to access such as wayfinding, seating, lighting, and other physical features.
This review benefits a range of spaces including:
- Offices
- Shops
- Festivals
- Educational environments
- Arts & Culture venues
Services Access Check
Our Service Access Check is a three-step process that reviews your organisation’s current services for accessibility and inclusion barriers. You’ll receive an assessment of service policies and procedures, service strategy and design, the ‘mystery shopper’ experience (where applicable) and customer feedback via survey.
This review benefits a range of services including:
- NDIS services

- Arts & Culture
