FAQ

How can disabled accessibility be improved in my home?

There are a number of things you can do to offer easy access to the disabled. Handrails, grab bars and lifts can be installed to make it easier for them to move around, along with ramps and wider doorways. Additionally, incorporating safety features in both the bathroom and the kitchen is essential, as they are both areas with a higher risk of falling or accidents.

Where can disability handrails be installed in my home?

Installing handrails for disabled individuals is key to making your home more accessible. You can install them by your stairs, or if you want them on walls, you can get their walled counterpart, grab rails. These can be placed in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms or even the garden.

What is the standard height of disability handrails?

According to the Australian Standard, disability handrails should be no less than 865mm vertically from the floor or greater than 1000mm from the nosing of a stair.

Do handrails need to be continuous?

Every flight of stairs must have continuous handrails, including risers and winders, but landings do not have to have continuous handrails unless they must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)

Why is disabled access important?

Apart from complying with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), ensuring that areas are accessible to the disabled is essential for a better quality of life and to grant equal opportunity. Implementing positive accessibility changes can make it easier for the disabled to do daily activities on their own, giving them autonomy and the capacity to move freely.
