The National Australian Access Map is more than a map. It is the foundation for a national standard of trusted accessibility information, enabling organisations across Australia to record and share information in a consistent, practical and meaningful way. In doing so, it gives people the confidence to make informed decisions about where they go, what they do and how they participate.

That information should not live in one place alone. It should appear wherever people are already searching and planning, from organisational websites and social media channels to Google Maps, Booking.com, Airbnb, local council event platforms and accessible location apps. Through a national consortium of committed partners, we have the opportunity to build the infrastructure, relationships and shared responsibility needed to deliver a more inclusive Australia. Join us in shaping a connected network of accessibility information that works for communities, organisations and visitors alike.

4.4 million Australians live with a disability. A further 2.65 million provide unpaid care. Every one of them currently navigates a fragmented and unreliable accessibility information landscape, where self reported data on a council website might bear no resemblance to the experience on the ground.
