A professional development training session will equip those working in the construction industry with information about the relevant legislation including:
Premises Standards – Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards)
Building Code of Australia (BCA) – Volume 1 of the National Construction Code (NCC)
Relevant and referenced Australian Standards for accessibility and adaptable housing
Sessions will include informative components on the key elements of legislative requirements, case examples and opportunities for participants to ask questions and solve design issues.
Participants can also engage in a practical workshop component considering the application of legislative requirements in real building scenarios. Training exercises will provide an awareness of the needs of people with a disability and give participants first-hand experience with overcoming non-compliances.
