This course will provide Occupational Therapists with a significant ‘point of difference’ to their peers and competitors when it comes to understanding and assessing access and Universal Design in the built environment.

This highly acclaimed course provides students with the skills required to provide advice on access and Universal Design in the built environment, as well as services and programs for people with a range of access challenges, including people with disabilities, older adults, parents and families, people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, as well as people who identify as gender diverse.

Importantly the course also provides the basis for a practical and comprehensive understanding of the reasons behind relevant legislation and standards – the ‘Why’s’ of Access – relating to the function and use of buildings, facilities and services.

9 days face to face training sessions (delivered live online via Zoom) plus a specified timeframe to complete all assignment materials. Course fees are exempt from GST.
