Life Without Barriers develops and delivers services and support that are accessible to everyone, including people living with disabilities and impairments.
Where barriers to accessibility exist, Life Without Barriers endeavours to enable you to access those places, systems and services through modification or the application of assistive technologies.
The Life Without Barriers Accessibility Action Plan Reference Group and the Life Without Barriers National Disability Consultation Group meet every six weeks to address accessibility.
